Hopeless

Letting the chickens out this morning there was a great cafuffle, with the dogs barking at a squab in the grass on the floor. It had fallen or been predated from the nest in the ash tree above, at the bottom of the garden, where I have been watching the two wood pigeons coming and going out of my office window!

I had my camera to hand and although not the prettiest of birds it was still rather cute. It just wasn't ready to fledge and when looked at closely seemed to have an injury in the middle of it's back. During this whole episode there was a tremendous racket, lots of horrid squawking and screeching from the resident magpie mafia who were probably responsible for this attack in the first place.

Sadly no way was it going to fly again - no hope for this little chap!

It does have a pinkish breast so staying with the pink theme!
