The Brave Crested Pigeon

For the next few days I will be posting photos of some of the birds who visit our garden

We get lots of crested pigeons in the garden, but they are so nervous usually, so I was surprised to see this one on our patio and lucky that I managed to get one photo of him before he spotted me and flew off.
It wasn't easy to photograph because they strutt about so quickly
