Fly home pigeon.

Went to the front garden to take a picture of the blossom tree (which I did) but along came a pigeon, so I quickly tried to capture it, not thinking it would be today's blip. And aware that they always find their way home I looked up a couple of facts. The following caught my eye:

•Pigeons are incredibly complex and intelligent animals. They are one of only a small number of species to pass the ‘mirror test’ – a test of self recognition. They can also recognise each letter of the human alphabet, differentiate between photographs, and even distinguish different humans within a photograph.

•Pigeons are renowned for their outstanding navigational abilities. They use a range of skills, such as using the sun as a guide and an internal ‘magnetic compass’. A study at Oxford University found that they will also use landmarks as signposts and will travel along man-made roads and motorways, even changing direction at junctions.

So who needs satnav? Just get a pigeon!
