Losing it
I noticed something funny going on with this pigeon and eventually managed to get a shot of it.

Obviously in the middle of moulting.

Excellent capture of this pigeon Delia!!! My wife is having a hard time with these guys ...LOL ..they keep ruining our balcony!!!!!
 
Looks more like it's been fighting, Delia; although the head is more often the target than a wing... well caught mid-stride too
 
A lovely detailed image of Woodie striding along, Delia !!! Thanks for sharing. A variety of little birds in my garden but still no sign of a Blackbird.
Best Wishes.
 
Nice strutting Wood pigeon, and I thought he was making a left turn.....Lol Delia & great post. Tfs. Pepe
 
Doing a hop, skip & jump! Great timing for this super behavior shot, Delia!! tfs.

Keeping his calm, though :-O
Hope I haven't caused others to lose theirs. Forget the X-word reference. Still more than 2 months to go. I'm just early with a couple of gifts because I'm sewing them, I'll be traveling most of November, and one of them has to be mailed to California (possibly best done in November when I'm in the US). But as my son says: Nil stress.
