Common Bronzewing Pigeon

Common Bronzewing Pigeon near Murray Bridge

Bronzewing pigeons are flighty birds. As such they are easily disturbed and fly away rapidly at any human interference. I was therefore rather surprised to find that this bird stayed on the stones on the roadside long enough for several quick photos. The one above is the best of them.

This photo was taken about 20km SW of Murray Bridge on a Sunday drive out bush a few weeks ago.
