Still down at the marina in Nelson Bay and this time on the breakwater.
We very often see pelicans, cormorants and gulls on the breakwater but rarely see pigeons there and this is only the second time I have ever seen a pigeon in our area.
We very often see crested pigeons in our garden, but not the common pigeon.
The pattern and texture of the background echo that on the bird. The pigeon is about the only bird that appears in our garden nowadays. Everything else seems to have deserted us.
When I see pigeons I always think of our tour guide in Florence, Italy. She said the city is in a quandary about how to keep the pigeons off of the sculptures throughout the city. Their population had exploded and they were everywhere.
@helenhall How odd that pigeons are the only birds you see in your garden. I wonder how they managed to scare everything else away.
@pusspup We used to see them everywhere when we lived in the UK, and we do get created pigeons in our garden, but this is only the second common pigeon I have seen here. Maybe he is on his holidays.
@olivetreeann He seems to be quite happy with the climate in our area and I have seen lots of them when I lived in the UK. Maybe this one has decided on a seachange as this is only the second common pigeon I have ever seen here. I wonder if he will tell his friends about our little bit of paradise.
