Pigeon- comments welcome

this bird appeared very tame, first impression was that it was unwell as it seemed very approachable, however it did fly off ok, it appears to be covered in mud so maybe was just drying out? it doesnt strike me as a wood pigeon so maybe a feral? not ringed or anything.

It appears to be a late bred Feral Pigeon "Columba Livia" judging by the lack of white on it's wattle and the partial moult of the feathers, note the different shades of grey in the wing. It would be more uniform in colour if it had moulted, which most pigeons have done by now.

The terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act must be observed and licences obtained to photograph Schedule 1 species from the appropriate Statutory Nature Conservation Agency. The Lincsbirds photo Album does not encourage images of rare birds taken at the nest or with young - a copy of the appropriate licences must be available, otherwise your image will be removed.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
