At the Port Augusta Arid Lands Botanical Gardens
the bird life was prolific
I have loads to post over a number of weeks
These crested pigeons were out for a stroll
attending to some adjustments in their plumage
and off on the strut again . . .

Diese sind nett, und auch ziemlich groß, würde ich sagen... habe noch nie solche gesehen !
ReplyDeletearen't they beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose are really great pics. I think pigeons are such fascinating birds... :)
ReplyDeleteTerrific bird shots for the day, Arija!! Hope your week is going well!!
ReplyDeleteLove them. Thank you - there have been less of them around here this year, and I really enjoyed seeing the ones you captured.
ReplyDeleteSo jealous!!!! These are some of my favorite birds and I can't wait to see them one day. They are very very cool!
ReplyDeleteThe crested pigeons are so cute and different.. Wonderful photos.. Enjoy the rest of your week!
ReplyDeleteWow! Such interesting birds!
ReplyDeleteTo the best of my knowledge, we don't have these here. They are strangely beautiful.
Thank you for stopping by and sharing at http://www.image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2014/09/elodie-farms.html
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely birds… here it has been a family of wild turkeys fascinating me and my family. There must be 18 or twenty of them and we've watched the young ones grow up all summer long.
How pretty - they look happy to be there.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen these birds before...pretty neat! Love their crests!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know pigeons could have crests, they are really beautiful birds, and photos.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen these Crested Pigeons before but they sure are cute and beat the Pigeons here in the UK.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots...I have never seen these beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures. I love how you took these from ground level.
ReplyDeleteLovely pigeons. I agree with Adam. These are so much prettier than the ones we have in the cities.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I love seeing birds I don't know.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds.

Splendid birds - I thought that I was just looking at a strange individual when I saw them first, the found a whole flock with the same "hair cut".
ReplyDeleteI used to live and work in the heart of Swallows and Amazons country - we used to take kids to explore some of the real islands that the islands in the books are based on - "Wild Cat Island" was just across the lake from us.

ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting looking pigeon. Such a delight to stroll in the gardens observing birds.
