Leucistic Woodpigeon

Sitting in my chair looking out into the garden with the patio door open I could hear a crow getting angry! Expecting it to be mobbing one of the local kites I soon saw that it wasn't a kite. I grabbed my scope and once I'd picked them up I could see it was mobbing a female Marsh Harrier! They carried on for another minute or so before I lost them behind the houses.

Later in the day a group of Woodpigeon flew into the garden and one of them was slightly leucistic so it stood out from the others.
