White-headed Pigeon

["Jeannie Gray" <>]

Two days ago (Wednesday 22nd ) we were lucky enough to have a White-headed Pigeon in our garden in Cook.  Judging by the pictures in Pizzey, it was a female.  When David first saw her, she was perched quite high up in a tree.  She then came onto our bird-feeder and ate a fair bit of the seed, drank at our birdbath and then pottered around on the ground for some time. She then flew off, and we have not seen her since.  All up, she must have been in our garden for about 45 minutes.  Unfortunately, we were engaged with a visiting tradesman at the time, so could not pass the word on about her presence - sorry about that! We will put in a COG data sheet very soon.
