Weather Station Wood Pigeon


Saturday was disappointingly cool and dull with outbreaks of light drizzle on and off all day and some heavier rain early in the evening. This is what we've come to expect this June.

Sunday morning has started off dull and windy but it has given me a chance of getting a short video clip of our wood pigeon perched on the vane of my weather station. A favoured vantage point.
Watching this video closely I’ve noticed that woody actually gets turned on the wind vane as the wind direction changes and he certainly doesn’t seem to have any effect on the anemometer as that whizzed around in today's strong breeze. Just as well, as I’m not sure how to keep him off this perch short of covering the whole weather station in anti bird netting!

  1. It must be a comfy perch, either that or else he's got a bitds eye view from it. It's quite windy here today. Hubby and son are supposed to be playing cricket but they haven't heard if it's on or not yet. My son played in a match yesterday in the drizzle.

  2. And I thought cricket was a summer sport!
