Would you believe it Bob. I was looking for images of the Stock Dove just this morning and failed to find one amongst my many contacts, a difficult bird to find photographically, now we have five excellent choices from you here....Ahhhh well!
I know, I've probably told you before, but doves are my very favorite birds, and this one is a true beauty, Bob. These images are just breathtaking! You have a wonderful weekend, my friend.
This was the perfect model for you - beautifully photographed! Have a great week Bob, ha, ha, just a good one would be okay too, but if it turns out to be great, even better! :-)
Not the ordinary pigeon here! They use to be common but not so anymore, how sad. These close-ups allow to see the details of its characteristics. Brilliant shots here Bob! Enjoy your day :)
very pretty and very alert!
ReplyDeletePretty colors on your stock dove, Bob! Great captures.
ReplyDeleteI caught 5 of them, and there could be more. Unlike their species, they don't go into the town, they preferred it in the woods.
DeleteOh, just look at the eye glint -Super good shots, Bob!!
