    Like dipping for apples

    This Wood Pigeon decided he'd stand on the feeder tray in order to reach the hanging seed feeder... plenty in the tray of course LOL. However, as he touched the feeder it swung away from him, much to his consternation!!

    Birds have found a new perch in my garden on top of the feeder pole, quite a few have taken advantage of it now, with this Wood Pigeon being the latest. Shows up well against the beech leaves, doesn't he. TTTW

  7. I don't often notice...

    I don't often notice...

    ....the pretty pink tinge to the upper breast area. Must have just caught this one in the right light and the right angle. I've also noticed that the woodies are mostly keeping away during the day and coming to the pole feeder in the evening. Not sure what caused this change of behaviour...

    The moment before.....

    .... the off. Is there such a movement known as a Dove Dive LOL. He more or less just 'dropped' down to the grass below, where there was more food awaiting. TTTW

    I have a pair of Wood Pigeons here, just sometimes they're joined by two or three others, which causes a bit of display and consternation. This guy is on sentry duty I think! TTTW

    Indecisive

    Back at home for this one. A Wood Pigeon on the neighbour's shed roof. Well it's actually a lean-too under which they store wood. While I was away on my long holiday, they put the tarpaulin over the end, which has the effect of stopping one of the local cats sitting on top of the wood and...

    Canoodling

    It's going to seem strange posting my local birds rather than the lovely Oz exotics. Though I will occasionally post some views, just to remind me of some lovely times. This is one from back in the spring when we'd been in lockdown for about a week. These two pigeons must have been in the same...

  14. Evil look

    Evil look

    This Wood Pigeon had just landed on the water for a drink when he took off and flew directly towards us in the hide. His wing 'headlights' remind me of the machine guns on a plane's wing. Never seen a pigeon go into the middle of the water for a drink, only wading at the edge?

    All gone?

    Think he may be wondering if there's more elsewhere on the ground! It was still quite early, but I guess the vandals had come in and swept everything up! TTTW

  17. Did Beatrix do pigeons?

    Did Beatrix do pigeons?

    En route to Kenmore, we stopped at Birnam (remember the Birnam Wood from Macbeth?). Beatrix Potter spent a lot of time in this village (which adjoins Dunkeld) and a pretty little garden has been developed as part of the visitor centre. Hidden in various places are little models of her...

    Juvenile (common) wood pigeon

    A young wood pigeon in my back garden (lack of white neck collar, darker eyes and dull beak mark it out as a young 'un). Easiest way to tell from juv. stock dove is the long tail compared to s.d.
