Wings on Wednesday - It's My Garden

A few days ago I spotted a couple of Wood Pigeons having a bit of a contretemps. It looked as though one had decided the other wasn't welcome in his garden.

There was a lot of fluttering and leaping about but neither came to any harm.

The slideshow was put together using the app Splice (free version) on the iPad.

  1. It's interesting that wood pigeons have become resident garden birds, ian't it? Ten years ago I rarely saw them in my garden - now they are always around and bred three times this year. Welcome visitors though, with their entertaing and comical courtship.All the best, Phil

  3. Are they courting or fighting? Hard to tell sometimes.

  4. Phil. It used to be Collared Doves were almost resident in the garden but the Wood Pigeons seem to have taken over from them.

  5. Thank you Mick. I don't remember seeing a pigeon 'battle' before now.

  6. Adrian. It wasn't the usual courtship harassment. Definitely looked like a scrap over who was in charge.
