  9. Superbes oiseaux, les pigeons sont malheureusement chassées des villes, en France, de manière brutale parce que les riverains ne plaignent de leurs fientes. Cela vaut une belle bagarre entre la ligue de protection des oiseaux et les mairies de ces ville. Très triste. Merci pour tes superbes photos.
    Amitiés.

  15. Three beats;
    Breast muscles thrust,
    A stock dove flies away
    To a perch of safer station.
    Stares back
