So pleased to hear that JackJacksparrow wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 8:27 pmGreat news, Walter the one-legged pigeon appeared to today. He looks to be coping well with his disability.
, Walter came to my mind just yesterday for some reason, good to hear he is doing ok 
Makes me so happy to hear that JackJacksparrow wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 8:09 pmIt is 2 months since the last sighting but Walter turned up this evening. Still coping well finding plenty to eat under the hanging feeders.
I wonder why that is JackJacksparrow wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 8:37 pmferal Pigeons have been visiting my garden for at least 20 years. In recent years the average number was 15 per visit. Three visits per day was the norm during the summer and two in winter.
Today and every day this week there were no visits whatsoever
The piles of dropped food under the feeders are getting ever higher.
I know I have cursed them on this forum many times but I am genuinely missing them.
And I do believe you miss them because, even though in groups and messy, they are such gentle funny birds 
I don't have a well informed theory. But.....in a completely different setting someone in my local town facebook group was having a rant about a feral pigeon they'd found in their garden with airgun pellet wounds. Could it be that someone had started taking potshots at them and scared them off. I honestly don't know and I'm grasping at strawsButterfly wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 9:12 pmI wonder why that is JackJacksparrow wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 8:37 pmferal Pigeons have been visiting my garden for at least 20 years.
