A rather wet, all ruffled bronzewing on my clothes line.
This bird is a large pigeon native to Australia.

nice coloring on this dove. Don´t think I have seen it before. It does not look to happy about beeing wet.
What a cutie! That is a huge pidgeon.
Beautiful bird. I like the soft colours.

How nice to see your Common Bronzewing, we have the Brush Bronzewing in our area.
Interesting colours!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
I love your native birds Gemma. There are so many ...and all are equally beautiful!!
WHat lovely soft colours!
When the birds puff out like that it always makes them look so much bigger. I'm thinking this guy is pretty big to start with. :)
Wonderful capture Gemma!
Great capture! He looks like he eats very well!
Just from the hints in this still pose, I imagine that the wing span for this guy/gal is quite beautiful? Lovely soft blue markings on the throat.
Beautiful bird. I love that pink tinge on the breast.
