You see a Pigeon

The weather in Orkney may be grey but it’s never dull. I’m waiting at Kirkwall harbour for the Westray ferry when I see a Rock Dove. You might see a pigeon, I see a Rock Dove.

The sea is grey, the sky is grey and the Dove? Well, that’s grey as well.

Just look at that flash of iridescent purple and green around its neck.

Doves, pigeons and Orkney. They may be grey but they’re never dull.
