Great capture of this bird with good colour that shines through. I love how you have captured the bird with something in its mouth, it adds even more substance and something different. Good job

Excellent capture Grace.

A Pigeon I've not seen before.

Just look at that red eye... impressive!

Nice clarity and excellent colors here presented.

Great job!

Great capture, Grace, showing the lovely Pigeon in flight, carrying a twig back for nest building. I think all birds are very intelligent and it's wonderful what the Pigeons did in the war. I love the many colours seen in the feathers. Very good lighting and focus. Lovely composition. Suzanne

What a very cool story and a very cool shot of this keen eyed fellow. He sure has a beautiful flying form. Very pretty colors. He has the ever popular red eye that pigeons seem to have. Very fine detail and coloring. Thanks for sharing and educating

    Thank you Sean! I went a little overboard with the notes, so it is good to hear that it wasn't too uninteresting and long winded!! There is just so much to say about these guys, I left a lot of info out, lol!

A fine shot with beautiful colors in the pigeon. I like the moss in his beak much better than a stick. Nice composition and very sharp details.

Sweet in flight capture of a Pigeon which I believe is a first here on Far.
Not an easy bird to capture in flight. You did a fine job and managed to get a cell eye clarity and show of his great colors as well.
Fine Stop action, focus and fab white balance control.
Well done GEM ;)
