Field Notes

Description:

A large, stocky pigeon that is very common throughout the UK. Greyish bird with a white/blue patch on its neck and a pinkish breast.

Notes:

These are everywhere in the UK, I'm surprised I haven't uploaded a picture of one yet. They're just very fat, large pigeons!

Yeah this one was a bit of a fatty, even for a wood pigeon!
