Pink Pigeon Puzzle - can you work it out?
A bright pink pigeon has been spotted in the skies over Darlington. Its lurid colour is proving a pink puzzle for passers-by.
Pink Pigeon or Day-Glo Dove?
After examining the pictures Nik Shelton of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) said: "The bird has clearly been dyed. "It is likely to be a captive dove and we have had reports of these being dyed strange colours and released at special events.
"This one has clearly not returned to its owner afterwards."
