Our towns have plenty of those birds. Encounter one in the wild is always a special event. (taken jul 2024)

They have beautiful eyes and you captured that very well here. Great detail on this dove and the branches frame him very nicely here. They don't reside in the region where I live so whenever I do see them in my travels I find them an interesting change from the birds I usually see. Very nicely captured, Yves.

I love the light and composition, Yves. That species of bird is quite a nuisance here, so I am not a big fan of them, but it looks good in this shot.

Very nice composition and details Yves. I agree the blue around the eye is very pretty. Nice pose and the tree branches provide nice texture.

Very nice shot of this Dove with great detail and isolation against the pale blue sky. Well done Yves
