The Sanderson Hospital building, Salters Road, Gosforth has been subject to demolition over the last month. The Pigeons have used the highest roof point for as long as I know, but this morning that was the only part of the building left standing.
Then it was The Return of the Machines.
It appeared a family protest was organised
But as usual, just a few brave souls remained
This group flew from inside
A crow does its protest on the jaws of the machine
One last look back at what was once home
Actually it was all a bit sad to see pairs of birds still circling the remains a couple of hours later.
But I can now see what the weather is like at the coast.
P.S. Five hours later.
They have established a place for the night on the opposite side of Salters Road

Great little tale, although I suspect the owner of the house where they now seem to have taken up residence will be a bit pissed off.

An hour ago they were all on a rooftop ten yards from us. The flock has grown to about four times the size so I think the old building must have been a collective nightime roost. At the moment they are flying round in circles.
Don't worry chaps they'll soon gravitate to that home of the lost and lonely.........the roof of the Gosforth Hotel
