Folks,

It's 'Good Friday' here and a public holiday

But not for me!

I'm on-call for the Easter weekend which means I'm working over the next four days at the Water Treatment Plant

Do you have time off for Easter in your part of the world?

If so, tell me about it

If not, also, tell me about it

Maybe 'Easter' isn't celebrated where you live

Tell me about it!

Literally
I'm asking

Literally

...

So this morning I was walking from the Chlorine Building to the Control Room when I spotted a feathered friend on the Filter Deck...

Pigeon perched on a handrail at a Water Treatment Plant

Not unusual to see pigeons here, but what caught my attention was how it acted

Generally, these birds fly away long before a person could get as close as I was

But this one was different; unconcerned that I was standing about arm's length away and seeming curious

Pigeon with a leg tag

That's when I noticed the blue band around it's leg

Maybe someone else could tell me more, but I suppose this is a homing or racing pigeon?

It was certainly very comfortable around people
