Rock Dove

Aka the common pigeon. There as so many of them that we tend not to see them, and even consider them nuisances, but they are really pretty birds.

Nice close up of it and mossy tree too.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ooh! I agree Lesley, I love the iridescent colours round the neck ! - and a lovely shot here as he perches on the mossy branch !

[Kitty Hawke]

That moss is almost like a carpet !

[Susan Wakely]

Showing its lovely neck feather colours.

[Rob Z]

You've really shown his colours beautifully.

[Carole Sandford]

They are when you look at them closely, shimmering greens & purples.

[Babs]

They are gorgeous but we rarely see them where I live. Have only ever seen two in our area but there are lots in the cities.

[Phil Howcroft]

they do have lovely markings and colours Lesley

[Bobbi C]

Nice shot, the colors are beautiful

[Heather]

So true, and you got a great shot here, Lesley, to feature its purple and teal neck colours as it perches on that green mossy branch! Fav

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Well spotted and a lovely capture.

[Pat]

Such lovely detail on both the bird and the mossy branch and yes, we take them for granted until we really look..

[Delwyn Barnett]

You are so right, they are pretty with their colouring, etc. But there are so many of them. Nice photo.

[Kathy A]

They are pretty, they have lovely colours

[Diana]

Beautifully captured, I love their iridescent neck plumage.

[Issi Bannerman]

They are pretty if only they didn't make such a mess everywhere!

[Boxplayer]

Oh agreed, I love them

[haskar]
