A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!
Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

I decided I was being snobbish by ignoring an obvious flock of "wild" birds in easy reach: in my local town centre - though sadly the light today was not that great.
One of my books lists four broad types, all represented here: Chequered, Rock Dove type, Pied and Ginger.
It's easy to overlook them because they're so common and there are, to be sure, a lot of manky pigeons about, but pigeons can be some of the most handsome birds.
