Woodpigeons again

David - the dead woodpigeons were between Llangeitho and Tyncelyn, the lady has seen no more dead ones but will let me know if she sees any more. Meanwhile I have two very poor looking woodpigeons in my garden in Tregaron - see pictures. One of them just does not move and appears to have a very full crop but the other one looks horrendous - blind? and with lesions or similar. Any idea what could be the matter with them? I can't say if these are my residents or remains of the flocks that have been flying over during the past weeks - usually flocks of up to 100 birds in the early morning coming from Cors Caron direction and going towards Llandewi Brefi.
