What a lovely shot and scene. I feed all kinds of birds, except pigeons. Those we chase away as they are such a messy nuisance. We have none slip tiles around the pool area where there are pergolas. The pigeons love to sit there and just let go, which is hard to get rid of 😉
@ludwigsdiana - I can empathise with you - although they have the same habit as the ordinary pigeons you find around towns - Mr P is a wood-pigeon and I have 2 or 3 (no more ) visiting on regular basis - They are fed on what I call the big bird table with scraps ,like the wholemeal seeded bread crusts we eat as well as bird seeds - it keeps them away from the small garden birds feeders ! (and I love to watch them !)
Nice capture of this handsome chap, I find they are very greedy and don’t give the smaller birds a chance when you put the food out on the bird table. I now don’t encourage them as they take over the garden!
