Talking Pidgin

"...and he said coo coo and I said cooor cooor and he just replied coo" "He didn't?" "He did..."

These little pigeons were having a lovely chat by the river in Cambridge and were too engrossed in their pecking-chat to notice me and my camera so I could get quite close. Yesterday I drove 3 hours through storms avoiding flooded roads and listening to the healthy squeals of 4 excited teenagers in the car. Got home and needed a lie-down, so please forgive this tardy filler. Aw thanks, you're great.

Thanks too, for all the comments and lack of rudeness on my smoky-shadowy shot - you're too kind! :)

Or is it a mirror?

You could tag this 'jan14words' for today word "Bird"

I have days like that!

[AC]

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Fantastic capture and excellent title!

[Kitti Nelson]

You've caught a couple of "Nattering Nellies" - lovely shot and the light brings out their iridescence beautifully

[Shirley Banford]

They look so pretty with the iridescence showing.

[Elizabeth]

Like the bird banter. Fun shot.

[Pat Knowles]

Love your commentary on this pair of love birds....very pretty they are too.

[iqscotland]

Much maligned but pigeons make great subjects :)

[dh (delena)]

They do look like they're gossiping. Lovely shot

[Rachel]

Love the expressions, really looks like they are having a conversation. Very cool

[Michelle]

You are so funny! They are pretty :)

[Margaret Pengelly]

Great commentary. Gave me a good giggle to start the day. Oh liked the photo too!

[Bob]

I'd like to hear that conversation. Nice shot Phil.

[Harry J Benson]

nice capture, great commentary lol

[Bev]

Great shot, Phil! That's so cool you could get close to them. Great detail and I love their color. Well done, missus!

[Cat Whiskers - Nan]

How cute!

[Hazel A]

Great capture. Their colouring is pretty and they have all their toes. Don't know why but lots of town living pigeons here have toes missing!

[Pete]

Captures them perfectly - lots of birdies on the site today!

[Andreas]

Cute couple. Too bad with the crappy weather.

[Claire]

What a super shot, great commentary too

[Mac]

Lack of rudeness? No one could/should ever give you lip! Lemme attem!

[Vicki Dixon]

so cute! such friends!

[Tony]

Loving pair. They look somewhat startled by that big round eye poked at them. The bright light brings out the iridescent colours.

[Lisa Pouncy]

So funny :o) You've certainly captured a gossipy moment. It reminds me of Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough xx
