Scattered pigeons

This is the part of the breakwater I was photographing yesterday when I got the big, big wave on the other section!. The pigeons are resting on this ledge which you can see is open to the ocean. Today a big wave scattered them while I was there! This is specially for Sam and Poppo who obviously don't like pigeons :)
Sam
HAHAHA I had a sneaking suspicion you were going to post the pigeons today!! I think you should have cropped the photo so the pigeons were not in it! HAHAH

You caught a lot of wonderful pictures on the photo trip.

They just learned a life lesson, never turn your back on the ocean. Great capture.

Those are some big waves you have captured. Beautiful!

@gigiflower I just had to post it for you and Poppo :)
@joansmor it isn't a photo trip Joan - it's just down the road from me :)
@karlow75 I'm guessing they are not very bright as they are there every day and came back in 5 minutes after this wave! It's where they sleep at night! Crazy :)

Nice capture of their alarm! I wonder what attracts them there as this has to be a recurring experience.

Nice action shot

Nice capture - those waves look awesome

Great capture

They look as though they have had a bit of a shock. You would think they would have figured the waves by now. Maybe that is why they call them bird brains.

great timing

Great capture of all those pigeon wings extended! I happen to think pigeons are beautiful, and honestly quite funny. What's Poppo got against pigeons???

denise what power this shows with the water

I like a bit of salt on my pigeon and this would save on using the salt pot. Great capture and another WAVE to me.
August 3rd, 2015  
Another powerful capture
August 3rd, 2015  
Very pretty and they are just taking off!
August 3rd, 2015  
Great timing!

A super capture of sea spray

Super capture and great timing they perhaps enjoy a salt bath occasionally.

Lots of action and lovely gentle tones.
August 3rd, 2015

I call it a photo trip when I grab my camera and go out to shot pictures.

Are they playing a game of chicken? Haha

great action shot

Awesome shot and love the foam from the water splashing and how the pigeons are either flying off or just standing there, daring the water to try and hit them! LOL Love the action in this photo! FAV!
August 4th, 2015  
What a wonderful shot. FAV

Stupid bloody pigeons

@terryliv Guess I have now worked out where the saying "pigeon brain" comes from :)
August 4th, 2015  
Ha ha - love you shot , and your sense of humour!
August 4th, 2015  
Interesting. Shot, looks quite dramatic. Probably scared the s out of the pigeons!
August 4th, 2015  
Nice frenzied shot! I actually think pigeons are cleverer than most people give them credit - they manage to flap their wings to balance and eat the seeds out of our small bird feeders.
August 4th, 2015  
That wave made them move!
August 4th, 2015  
Well captured. I bet they came back almost straight away too
August 4th, 2015  
Nice action shot!
August 4th, 2015  
Great timing!
August 5th, 2015

August 5th, 2015  
Fantastic action shot....love this Denise.
