The startled look of the coiffed photo bomber above made me smile big :) Had a nice surprise early yesterday morning.. a visit from a pair of crested pigeons also known as topknot pigeons because of the erect feathered black spike atop their head that looks like it has been well lacquered up :) Not easy to tell the difference between male and female as their colouring is similar, the pink and orange around the eyes tres joli. I have many feathered visitors for breakfast and although the crested pigeon is not uncommon, it is the first time they have landed in my garden.. the word is getting out, the food is good at No 47 😉 Aren't they pretty. Happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe..
Beautiful.

ReplyDeleteWe have a saying here "I get a pointy head" When you get bored of whining and shit! They do remind me of that!
