Taken yesterday outside my friend's apartments I found these Wood Pigeons ~ Columba palumbus in Irish Colm coille feasting on the Pyracantha berries in the sunshine.
Identification: The largest of the pigeons in Ireland with a proportionally long tail and small head. A full breast. Easily identified in flight by large white wing bands traversing the upper wing. White and green patches on the side of the neck. In the breeding season they are conspicuous in upward-soaring display flights which end in wing clapping.
Diet: Mainly plant material, green leaves, seeds, berries, buds, flowers and root crops.
