Persistent Pigeons

Persistent, but stupid.
The pigeon and dove pair seem to have given up their attempts to squat in the top room of Rest for the Tired (they were trying to make their nest in the waste paper basket, and flew in every time the window was left open). Now they're back on top of the porch of my neighbour's house, where they've already attempted one nest and abandoned it when an egg fell out and smashed.
Maybe Hay has no suitable pigeon nesting sites left?

Most of them seem to have organised a colony under Hay bridge where there's a hole in the netting put up to keep them out.

Their mess, combined with all the dog mess under the bridge, makes a pretty spot look like something from an inner London sink estate.

I don't know who has put up the notices about people not picking up their dog mess, or worst of all, bagging it and leaving it in the undergrowth, but good for them for saying so. The river path is pretty disgusting with so much dog mess about.
