Dovecote

This was certainly a first! Approaching Hinckley from the north this morning, we looked, and blinked, and blinked again.

Yes, it really was a group of doves, on a cover over the stern of this boat.

I know that pigeons are trained to know their home, and return to it. But how do you teach them that home is a cover over the stern of a narrowboat? Wonders will never cease.

And what do you do with the doo-poo?
