Rock Dove
The annual trip to East Yorkshire and the Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough Head area in May.
Day 6. The last day.
Yet another cold windy day. With an offshore wind and deteriorating weather.
A Rock Dove rests on the grassy slopes of Bempton Cliffs.
The Rock Dove is the wild ancestor of domestic pigeons the world over, domesticated originally to provide food. Feral Pigeons come in all shades, some bluer, others blacker - some are pale grey with darker chequered markings, others an unusual shade of dull brick-red or cinnamon-brown. Others can be or less white while others look exactly like wild rock doves.
