Wood Pigeon. March 2020

I tend to give the Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus) a tough time. Scavengers, greedy eatin' machines. They are! Rural or urban. So I decided hit the breaks, bide my time and this plump specimen landed nearby, sat for a while letting all its food just been eaten digest. And as they do, they breathe in, self inflate and shudder around. This is what I captured :)

SONY RX10 IV. 203mm, f/4.0, ISO 800, 1/50.
