Second Collared Dove image is magic Also love the light on the Woodpigeon, despite the bird itself being in shadow - there's something lovely about it.
Never sure about these 'under the feeder' shots, always want to get down on a level with the birds that's why I like them on twigs, stops me breaking my back! ;D

Thanks Zoundz.

It was very odd evening light when I took the pigeon. I think that's why he's turned out blue I was waiting for it to move into the sunny bit on the bush but he didn't.

Under the feeder shots - I tend to take a few when I'm waiting for the twiggy ones to arrive.
