Field Notes

Has a ring on one leg so probably escaped, now settled in with a group of feral rock and other pigeons in Sant Vicent parque. Although feral all these birds are thought to have descended from Rock Pigeons over the last couple of millennia, hence they are categorized under Columba livia.

Habitat:

City park
