Re: Crested Pigeon

Ha ha, no sunglasses but as is almost always the case, it was another lovely day in Queensland and what a pretty bird.Apparently very common but this chance shot was a first for me, as I was waiting for a swallow to return to its adjacent perch.

Thanks for looking and commenting everyone.

Re: Crested Pigeon

Thanks Richard - as common as it apparently is here, I'd never seen one and when it flew into my field of vision I couldn't believe my luck at seeing such a lovely bird and being ready for it at the same time
