light reading

I got a new book in the post today:


It was recommended to me quite a while ago now and I finally got around to getting a copy. I think it's about a man who is tormented by a pigeon (surely not!?). Will let you know how it goes.

In other news, I moved into a new office on Monday and there is a gang of pigeons who spend their day on the tree outside my window. They looked very cold and damp yesterday and I thought about throwing them some raisins but thought it best not to encourage them (I don't want to be responsible for a pest problem).

Will keep you updated about their progress though...maybe I should name them?

TODAY

Today I drew a pigeon:


I also ordered this book and found out that Darwin was a pigeon fancier:


Original line drawings from Darwin's "Variation in Animals and Plants under Domestication" (1868)

Interesting stuff!
