What a lovely story and a lovely picture - the dove looks very happy on her nest. Goes to show that there are some decent folk out there in the world of councils and officials etc.
 Methinks would it have been different if it had been a feral pigeon. I would like to think not but I wonder.......  Tania x

That is a lovely dove!
With all the negative news, it is so refreshing to see a story which actually shows respect for nature, and the fact that it is a dove, is great! Maybe it isn't a pigeon, but pretty close.

Ooops...methinks there may be some non-Pythonists out there....so just in case anybody misunderstands:
Symbro's initial comment "She turned me into a newt!" was a Python quote. Bedemere: What makes you think she's a witch? Peasant: She turned me into a newt! Bedemere: A newt? Peasant: I got better. So were the title of this thread "And now for something completely different" and the response "I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!": Cleveland: Well what on earth does that mean? Chapman: *I* don't know - Mr Wentworth just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at the mill, that's all - I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition. [JARRING CHORD] [The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain [Palin] enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles [Jones] has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang [Gilliam] is just Cardinal Fang] Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and Cynthia
