I dug a small hole in the snow,put the seed in the bottom and then waited for the pigeon to raise his head.Used the car as a hide and taken in my front garden.

Good colour & plumage on this one Phil, perhaps a little big in the frame for me. I might be tempted to make it a fraction smaller with a hint more FG. Easy to do, based on the overall colour.

Nice one.

I've had loads of these in my garden in the snow. Unfortunately my garden isn't blessed with a photographer with a bit of vision!

Really lovely image of an overlooked bird.
