Stock Dove (Columba oenas)

This was one of the first birds I saw after moving into the care home. Hopefully a good omen! I'd never photographed the species before. There were two, and they reappeared a couple of days later. This place is very near a Local Nature Reserve, which has some urban woodland. TTTW.

Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well, and good birding!

Brilliant low camera view profile of this gorgeous Stock Dove with the dark eyes. Beautiful colors, iridescence, focus, and dof. Fabulous John! TFS!
