Feral Pigeon

Feral Pigeon
A common bird (also called a Rock Pigeon or Rock Dove) and sometimes much maligned. I think they're beautiful. I currently have up to 6 of these regularly visiting my garden feeders. This image was made in the Rock Gardens Southsea.

Go large, for best effect. Thanks for looking :-)

Schitterende opname, Keith.
Deze duif lijkt als twee druppels water op de duiven die hier gekweekt worden voor wedstrijden en weddenschappen, maar dan hebben ze wel een ring om de poten.
Hartelijke groeten en een prettig weekend. (vergeet niet de formule !)

I like them too!! How pretty it looks amongst the daisies, and their iridescent colours are beautiful. Love your focusing as well. I looks like it is posing just for you!

Happy Sunday and hope you have a good new week Keith.

What a beauty. And your picture shows all of its pretty details too. I adore pigeons as long as there aren't too many at once. Too many and my foot gets twitchy. Otherwise, what more can you ask for than a comfortable bench next to a busy flock to watch, esp when there are lots of different colored-ones to enjoy. I remember walking in a city in Provence, France where we saw a bunch of colorful pigeons. Steve went off for a few minutes and so I stood transfixed, watching the group of birds cooing and busy at pecking up any stray goodies they could find. Fun. :)

The neck feathers on this one are beautiful. Lovely strong colour. I have a pair of wood pigeons who are not nearly as attractive but I'm quite fond of them. Also a pair of collared doves which I love but are only occasional visitors,
