I selected these London plane and poplar
leaves for colour: most were plain manilla brown. |
Charles Darwin was so convinced that pigeons could help him with
his theory of evolution that he kept them and quizzed pigeon-fanciers

When there's a rush for crumbs the gulls hang back as the pigeons
swagger in there and take the first pickings.  |
