I quite like Wood Pigeons, although they are an absolute blot on the landscape, being so common and intrusive.

Why?

I think because (a) they make good photo subjects, being so close and approachable [plus somewhat iridescent] and (b) they have that weirdly-shaped pupil.

Fantastic full frame view of this gorgeous wood pigeon with excellent eye contact, focus, dof, colors, lighting, and setting. Superb work Kits! TFS!
