I was returning from doing the Three Peaks in July, and came across this guy early morning at Wrexham Railway Station. His job was to control the pigeon & vermin population around over forty railway stations in the area. The company he works for has a range of birds for the job. Can anyone tell me what kind of bird this is?

The poignant thing about this guy’s job is that he has to work on stations before the public arrive in order not to offend anyones sensibilities! It’s a lonely job – and quite sad in many ways. But he does get to work with these beautiful creatures – and I suppose he doesn’t have to be part of the rat-race.
