Description
This was one of the few sorts of birds I saw on my recent Breeding Bird Survey.
The Hotel district is an avian desert in comparison to my garden.

Handsome young man!!!
This is a brilliant portrayal of the Wood Pigeon Andrea, super lighting and the Chestnut is spot on too.
I find wood pigeons fun to watch because they will fly to a location and then contemplate for a quite a while where they are wanting to go next... for example to land on the lawn.. they look down and look around.. repeat that about four times and then do it. Usually you spot them in pairs unless there are eggs. They have a slight comical aspect to their mannerisms. You have captured this WP so well.. lovely colours and lighting with a wonderful backdrop. World away from some of the scabby old pigeons we have flying around our towns and cities.
Very very fine picture !!
beefy looking bird - I pity the crow that tangles with this one! Great captures
A superb capture of the lovely wood pigeon, A, a variety of species that is a far cry from our local kind. This one appears broader than ours.
I think this bird works out!
Holy cow,...your robust (and probably courageous) pigeon brings to mind a famous carrier pigeon of WWI fame..."Cher Ami" saved the lives of 194 surrounded American soldiers in the Battle of the Argonne in October 1918. Aren't birds wonderful:)
Such lovely coloring, and he looks so nice in that chestnut tree! (Leave it to hubby to have a war story about nearly anything at all.) :P
very sharp image you got here
Both photos are lovely. I especially like the one in flicker with the pink blossums.
Perhaps because everyone knows Andrea's is the place to be. Excellent capture and a very noble pose although he does look as if he's trying out new contact lenses.
Brilliant, pic.
very clear and great colors, and a lovely bird of course!
Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.
Top Lighting!!!!
Superb capture. Fantastic colours, light and details.
What a beautiful bird! Great capture!
I like this version best - a beautiful pigeon portrait. Sad to say that all of the Chestnut trees that were around when I was a kid - seem to have disappeared!
