Or just "Pigeon Post"? Or even "Recreational Route". Anyway, Wood Pigeon, UK, awaiting the best title I can give it.

Oohh, fancy. This one also has that eye pigmentation thing going on where the pupil looks as if it were not quite round!
Looking back at my old photos from various locations, that "not round pupil" thing in wood pigeons seems more often present than not. I wasn't something I'd looked previously out for.
It's pretty common, I believe! It's just pigmentation though, not an actual pupil shape.
Lemme dig around..
Digging around didn't yield what I thought it would. I thought I had a picture of a goose with a similar thing going on, but that probably was something else. Sorry.
