    Default Rock Dove at Bempton Cliffs

    Thought these were just feral pigeons, but they appear to be rock doves.

    Olympus Evolt E520, and borrowed lenses and flash. Fuji Finepix S7000 for Macro A chair :)

    Not worth mentioning!

    Seems to be a matter of the right background to make it a Rock Dove?
