Wonderful shot of this sunbathing dove. I know about "anting" but they do enjoy it as well.

There's such lovely feather and plumage detail showing here Jp.

A terrific picture my friend. Many thanks for showing us this dove.

Superb shot JP. You could number each feather, as in a field guide topography diagram. But it's nicer just to look at this image and enjoy it!
