Feral Pigeon (+PiP)

Feral Pigeon (+PiP)
A rather windswept feral pigeon gazing out to sea from the sea wall at Southsea, Hampshire.

It was very cooperative and also posed nicely whilst I got a close up head shot.........which you can see in the PiP if you like.

With the ruffled feathers we can see the shapes and colours better Keith. I love the iridescent neck colours, which change and brighten as the bird moves. Luckily they are quite slow movers...especially when they are sat in the middle of roads! :-)

Hope you have a nice trip yesterday. I'm trying to pack two N.T. properties in today, and the weather looks half decent!

Looks as though it has just got out of bed and is still suitably tousled Keith, but I like the windswept look especially the colours and the superb detail in the pip, nice one my friend.
