A lone pigeon standing on the Barbican at Leeds Castle. The Barbican was built in the 1280s and served as an initial line of defence for the bridge crossing the moat to the gatehouse.

The system of water defences was developed to its full at this time, and the Barbican was linked to the mill and straddled and protected the now much-reinfoced dam. It had three entrances, two from the dam and the main one from the south. These opened into a small central area, from which a two-arched bridge led across the moat to the gatehouse, which guarded access to the larger island.

After my recent post, ‘Photographing Pigeons in the Park‘, James wanted to know if I had been loitering on the park bench.  These photos reveal the awful truth of the matter…

If you look closely you can see it is the pigeons that were loitering.  In the second picture I have zoomed in so you can see them plotting on the bench!

It looks like Sean was right to raise concerns about about Andrew (see previous comments section).  But it is even worse than we feared because it looks like the pigeons are  in collaboration with the squirrels so who knows what can happen next.

There is a post on Andrew’s Blog today, but is it really Andrew?!?!?  It seems to be him but…

PS: For those of you who are awaiting a more serious post from me, I think there may be one or two in my head ready to escape
