This is lovely, Mary. I really like the feathers which look like the underside of a mushroom! Or is it just me? Fantastic shot though.

Thanks folks for your comments. This is a "park" pigeon- there is a large park next to the river with a duck pond. Lots of people stop to feed the birds- mostly very obnoxious, obese ducks , geese and seagulls and the pigeons sort of hang around the edges hoping to get the left overs. It does sort of have an attitude.

Very textural shot Mary. Mr Pige' does look like he could kick birdy butt!
Shot works well for me.
Nice capture
