A rather common breeding bird in the park with the old oaks being an excellent habitat for it.

2020-09-28    Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark

Subspecies: [oenas by location]
Two with a Common Wood-Pigeon. Easily distinguished by the smaller size and the broad dark trailing edge.

In this area mostly confused with feral pigeons, which normally fly differently, and never with the migrating Wood-Pigeons. And also shows a whiter underwing with a narrower hand and dark trailing edge.

Apparently rather common this autumn by reports from the migration spots near by.



Happy Birding
