Woodpigeon (Columba palumbus)

Because it is such a common sight, I think it's easy to overlook quite what an attractive bird the Woodpigeon is. The subtle shades of the mauve/grey plumage are gorgeous and the eye is stunning. This individual was feeding on a seed mix thrown on to the ground around the feeders.
