Description
Wood Pigeons can be identified in all plumages by the obvious white marks at the bend of the wings which show up in flight as diagnostic white lines down the middle of the wing. Another good feature is the neat white patch on either side of the neck, although juveniles lack this mark. Compared to other pigeons, the Wood Pigeon is bigger and more ponderous in flight with a deeper belly and a longer tail.
Breeds in woodlands, scrub and hedges and increasingly, parks and gardens in towns. Winters in woodlands and often feeds on stubble fields.

That's a very good idea... I don't understand why so many personns hate Pigeons, because they are so many in the cities and let us sweet gifts on our cars I suppose.... lol ! But it's a lovely bird and they have all beautiful colors. Superb portrait Danny !!!! V

I agree the comment of Nathalie06... her, in sevile (south of spain) i see white pigeon and i like too that. Very good composition color and realisation of lighting!!! excellent my friend, good evening and kiss ;)
I love the soft greys that pigeons have. I also like the white-tailed doves. Very pretty shot of this wonderful bird! V (:
As a kid, I followed these wood pigeons for hours with binoculars, out in the fields. Now they're coming in people's gardens by the dozens, even nesting there. The same happened with magpies. They are kinda chasing the smaller birds out of the gardens. Evolution?
Beautiful capture. I like the colors of this bird. On my monitor it looks like a soft grey/blue.

Breathtaking, simply divine work, you are the best! V
