Pigeons do not have a good reputation in London, where they are generally regarded as vermin. But this amiable little fellow looks much better fed and better groomed than his scrawny urban cousins. The creation of the brilliant Laura Brownhill, he would look wonderful perched on the roof of the Hall, avidly keeping watch – at a safe distance from Mopsy and the other household pets.
