Common Wood Pigeon (juvenile) (Columba palumbus)

This young bird, still wary of predators, was keeping out of strong direct sunlight as much as it could. It found a small patch of shade on top of a van below overhanging tree foliage.

Thank you for your kind comments on my pictures, and good birding!

Wonderful capture of this youngster. Sounds as if it going to make it to adult hood being cautious that way. Excellent work John! TFS!
