Common Wood Pigeon - #featheredfriday

It has been an interesting few days since the new bird feeders where put up and we are getting quite a few different types of birds dropping in for #featheredfriday hosted by Hive account@melinda010100.

I am relatively new to this whole bird watching thing but it is a lot easier when the birds come to you.

While I can see the attraction of twitching. The idea of schlepping around looking for birds is pretty unattractive and inefficient? imo.

These Common Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus) are pretty plump and are members of the Dove family. I not certain but I think these are the pigeons that are used in cooking? Pigeon pie etc.

Just to reassure you. I didn't eat the Pigeons but I now know where to get some if things get tight. :-)
