This is one of the best shots I have seen of a Woodpigeon in flight. He nearly has the perfect shot which I will get one day of the winter sun reflecting of the gloriously rose pink chest of a pigeon with a full crop coming into roost. Roost shooting will always be my first love – that’s where it all started for me.

Although the photographer seems to be ashamed of the fact that it is ‘just' a woodpigeon and not a Sparrowhawk or Peregrine (this attitude has been fostered over the last ¼ of a century by some false conservationists who only see raptors as bankable income – those of us who have worked with international raptor conservationists are not taken in by that.)
