The hawk who keeps Wimbledon pigeon-free
While the biggest stars in tennis are on the court at Wimbledon, Rufus, an American Harris hawk, is there every day to keep an eye out for pigeons. His job is to patrol the skies, scare away pigeons and stop them eating the grass. Jamie Broughton met up recently with Rufus while on patrol with his handler, Donna Davis.
