Well done Di. They usually disappear while you get the camera. He looks really comfortable there though.

This unusual looking pigeon was on my neighbour's garage roof this morning. It almost looks like a cross between a dove and a pigeon.

Hi Beth, that's a coincidence as I saw a similar here on Saturday. It had more white than yours and I managed to get close enough to see it had red eyes. I had just been to the camera shop so had my camera with me but unfortunately, as I was hauling it out of my bag, something spooked the bird and it flew away. I'm glad you got a photo of yours as I was beginning to think I had dreamt it.

:hello2: Gill. Yes, it caught my eye yesterday as it had such unusual markings. I never saw it again once it had flown off, but I'll keep a look out for it today.

Lovely photos Di. It does look unusual. I have seen brown and white ones, but that one has got a lot of white on him.

:thanks: for posting

:wow: Great photos Stu. I agree with Jean, they are terribly hard to capture when flying - unless they are coming straight at you. That, at least, offers a fighting chance :giggle:
