Will Mobilises the Troops

So we've not heard from Will the pigeon in a while now.  I think that pigeon's gone soft and naffed off during the winter months.  Now that Spring is knocking at our door, Will has returned.  And he's brought his buddies. Now, I haven't been aware of much pigeon activity and I haven't seen Will in a long time but today, in the park, there was unarguable pigeon activity.  And it was aimed at the head of our Australian buddy.  Innocently sat in the park, Monster Noggin made note that she'd seen a low flying pigeon.  I too had noticed the low flying pigeon.  Cruising just inches off the ground.  Cruising.  Spying.  Scouting.  This was the advance party, checking out the enemy, preparing for an attack.  A second low flying pigeon was quick to follow.  I eyed these pigeons with suspicion, as often I do, for in all likelihood they're part of Will's crew.  I think I was proved right when a third pigeon launched its attack.  Upon deciding that chips were in order, we stood and gathered our things.  We started to walk in the direction of the harbour.  It was then that a low flying pigeon became an attack pigeon and launched itself in our direction.  Actually it aimed itself in the direction of our Australian buddy's head!  It missed her by mere inches.  Inches!  It literally flew right through us, sending us scattering and commenting on the audacity of the pigeon.  It drew the attention of many a park goer.  But did the pigeon really miss or was it just a warning?  A warning from Will the pigeon that he's been watching us and mobilising the troops.  It was a close call.  This time it was just a close call but next time it could be a pigeon in the face.
