Quite possibly the best photo I've taken of Chief Inspector Woodpigeon. My original #smallbeauty who makes me smile every day no matter what. #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #threadofgold #rubbishbirdpics
Picture taken underneath a Woodpigeon. Said Woodpigeon is staring straight onto the camera looking a bit surprised!

While waiting at one if the most depressing bus stops (beside a roundabout, too many speeding cars, tons of litter etc), improved only by its tweeting hedge, I heard and eventually spotted this fluffy robin. #SmallBeauties #RubbishBirdPics
Very fluffy Robin in a very twiggy hedge
