A pack of pouncing, pecking pigeons


I was sitting on a bench in the Civic Square when someone either dropped or threw down a bit of sandwich.

Immediately a pack of pigeons descended and pounced on the offering.

However it was a starling that was first to break out of the pack with a titbit in its beak.

  4. The bravest gets the prize! Birds always amaze me when it comes to feeding--they are usually much braver than I expect.
