wood pigeon

I had a old tree trunk given to me about 5 feet long so i placed it in the garden and spred a mixture of lard and seed on top of looks like it works

I thought this was not exactly a stereotypical Wood Pigeon photo, so I included it.

This guy is first down in the morning making sure he gets his/hers. before anyone else

taken the other day

There you go Chris, one for you LOL He was fair enjoying something under a Birch Tree when I was out on my walk on Sunday.

Grey and overcast this morning, so I'll leave the Reservoirs for another day. There's an Elderberry bush that overhangs my garden, and the Wood Pigeons are always trying to get to them. The branches are very thin, and won't support the weight of a Wood Pigeon, so some acrobatic feeding is...

Strange one this; I liked the lighting and setting, so took a picture, but I didn't anticipate the effect of taking it through the leaves of my trees. Anyway, I like the result, as it's a bit different (and I like "different"|=)|); through the window as usual

Not much happening in my garden at the moment. Overrun with starlings, wood pigeons and a few blackbirds but very little else. Anyway, just to cheer myself up I thought I'd share this rare wood pigeon with you!

Taken between very heavy rain showers today, again in a neighbours garden.

Not very clear but one followed the other all around the garden and by the time I got the camera they were just disappearing.

He stood looking into our room for ages. He seems so sad. For a week now he just wanders around the garden just flying off when disturbed. I wonder if his partner is on a nest.

I don't see them in the garden that often. Through the window (rather glad the neighbours were out:-O). AP. 1/125 sec. F5 D

Don't mess with this guy. Gunfight at the OK Feeder. "Draw!!"

I couldn't get the angle to get both of it's eyes in view, but I like the fluffed-up pose. Through the window as usual. I'm a bit busy today, so I might not upload a 3rd pic, not sure yet.

I thought it worth uploading one more pic of this Woody from yesterday. Through the window as usual.

There's about an hour each day, when the light is just right for a bird perched on this wall. And of that hour, there's about 20 minutes when the BG is at it's best. So obviously, I try to get a picture of whatever bird happens to be there. Unfortunately, the birds know about this, and won't go...

Another photo from several days ago.

Another bird species (along with Pigeons and Mallards) that doesn't get seen in the gallery as often as it should, IMO. Anyway, from the garden yesterday.

A long wait!! ;);

2 were wandering around the garden. I could not get them together though.
