Rock Doves rock




If it wasn't for the ubiquity of the feral pigeon living as a commensal species in human-altered habitats, people would rave about the delicate beauty of the wild Rock Dove. This pair were photographed from the roadside earlier this month at Clachan on North Uist. Unlike the feral pigeon, these Rock Doves were skittish and vanished almost as soon as my car my car came to a halt.
