Hildarose suggested taking pictures of pigeons for a week (or maybe a day). Simple I thought, we are pestered daily as they pick up the dropped seeds from Goldfnches, and the patio has to be frequently cleaned. They obviously don't like the hot weather, they are non-existant. So I found a few of their feathers - does this count?
On the hottest day of the year I had two teeth extracted, fortunately the surgery had aircon.
So it's trifle for tea, such hardships.
