    Default Large oddly coloured looking pigeon

    The photos aren’t 100% clear
    The first photo shows the birds on the left look like a flock of escaped doves and the big bird on the right looks like a very large pigeon.
    I cannot find a pigeon in any of my books that have this colouring.

    The second picture shows a gull separating them

    The third picture the pigeon like bird flies off and you can see the under side.

    I’m wondering what sort of bird he is?

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    I looked up rock dove. I just wondered I didn't like the seagul. I don't think it was out to harm the doves . Maybe he thought he was on =e of them. Nice looking chap though
