Woodpigeon gallery








This Woodpigeon visited my garden this evening, eyeing up some sunflower seed remnants on the grass. It made a good digiscoping subject in the nice light and didn't mind me being there (I was in the house with the patio doors open).

The same bird as last June? Check out the eye...
