Feral Pigeon (Columba livia)

A familiar site in towns and cities around the world, Feral pigeons came from semi-domesticated birds kept in pigeon houses, though these originally stem from wild Rock Doves - a cliff-nesting bird. They breed on ledges of buildings and bridges and can have young virtually all year round.


To top of the Ribe Church tower in Denmark, where I took this photo, was also the best place to view the only nesting White Storks in Denmark.
