Nature Notes

For 25 years I edited the Parish Magazine for St John's Lemsford (on the outskirts of Welwyn Garden City). This appears every two months in A5 format. Towards the end of my tenure I started writing a page of Nature Notes and have continued doing so under the new Editor.  

The first one was about my attempts to scare off wood pigeons, with near-fatal results
#1 Wood Pigeons 

The second was a follow up to #1, again on wood pigeons, ending with an ethical puzzle.
