Photograph taken at an altitude of Sixty four metres at 09:34am on a cold afternoon in May, of a pair Feral pigeon (Columba livia), off Chessington Avenue in Bexleyheath, Kent. They are a wild ancestor of domestic world pigeons. A common sight in UK gardens, and traditionally seen on London postcards of Piccadilly circus until the feeding of pigeons was banned, they can weigh up to 370g with a wingspan of 34cms. There are approximately 550,000 breeding pairs in the UK.
