Pigeons are often underrated. Today, this pigeon was watching me as I looked through my kitchen window. He was waiting for food.

Further to that last post of mine - in case you were wondering what an Australasian swamphen looks like (formerly known as the purple swamphen - for obvious reasons), here's one I photographed at Mount Gambier in 2022. This one exuded attitude 😆 The are beautiful birds.
