I have a feeling it's a pigeon that has nested with it's partner in the same tree for several years. Two of them used to sit on the branches in the Christmas tree, and they would build a nest every year.
A couple of months ago we noticed only one of them was there, have no idea what happened to it's mate.
Anyway, we will soon know if it's the remaining bird, because none will be up in the tree from tomorrow....

 Please tell us and when you have a little time please tell us the story of your two nesting wood pigeons.  Also please elaborate what is meant by the "Christmas tree" (e.g. was this a fir tree growing in your back garden that you festooned with lights and baubles?)

 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’d love to read about them too, please!

On a much sadder note, and given recent events, here’s a dilemma I’d never wish on any parent: If you discovered your son/daughter had committed a terrible crime, would you turn them in to the police?

 Well I don't have any children so I will make that dilemma applicable to my mother and younger brother.

It depends on the circumstances, it has to. If I knew they had acted in self defence and there was no chance of the crime being traced to them probably not.  But that's a very forgiving unlikely set of circumstances. If they have committed a crime their DNA will be at the scene..they don't have criminal records (at least I flipping hope they don't!) But the police have so much tech on their side now that if you didn't turn them in, they would likely find them anyway.

I probably wouldn't turn them in though unless that was what they wanted.
