mmmmm..... (That means, mmmm, i like it!)
Can you please tell us the story of this little chap? ie
•where was this taken
•how did you get so close
•what sort of bird is he
•what is that ultra green backdrop?
I think it is a very beautiful study!
there's not much story... I spotted him sitting in the pink silk tree last weekend; I took the photo from the bedroom window, using the zoom lens to get right in tight... so the green is the next-door neighbours' garden ;)
and I think he's a dove, but I'm not sure :)
Amazing. Really. I love grey. Almost as much as blue, if that is possible.
I think it's an Inca Dove.
Looks fluffy.
