Crested Pigeon

[Isac]

I haven't seen these guys having a drink before they're usually just sitting in the trees, so this is a rare shot for me.

Nice capture Isac. I've found them to be very nervous/twitchy birds, good that he was distracted and probably didn't notice you.

Thanks John. All fixed. The pigeons are very skittish so happy it was busy.

Thanks Kevin. as said they are usually very skittish.

G'day mate

You and Kevin are both contenteds for the 'best bird pic' category
I do like the moment of drinking that you have captured - as yes, likewise, all the time I see them they are upright and ready to fly away

Thanks for that Phil. I took a few rapid shots because I thought it was pretty rare to see it where it was. It must have thought it was very safe to be there - probably right, not having the ducks here at the moment. We've got some storms coming so some may trickle into the lake.
