Field Notes

Notes:

Although these birds are also known as Feral Pigeons or 'rats with wings' in Australia, I think this particular bird looks like an angel! Seen roosting on a bridge at Kawana on the Sunshine Coast. The third shot shows a pair together - I think one of the pair might be the bird in the first two shots.
