Woodpigeon

"Cooo coo co coo, cooo coo co coo." And so goes the famous woodpigeon call, the backdrop to many a sunny afternoon in the park. This large, clumsy bird has a reputation for a being greedy feeder and leaving colossal droppings, which you'll soon notice if you ever park your car under a favourite berry tree.

Still, it's hard not to find their goofy nature endearing, and despite being an everyday sight in Didsbury, they're certainly still a welcome one.
