| |  Hi from South London!
Hi all.
Just found this GREAT website, I love it.
Thought I'd say a quick hello to everyone.....
I want to post some pics of my "resident wood pigeon" here soon, if I can locate the pics!
We called him Woody... yeah, I know, not very original.
But he is such a character!! 
He comes into our garden every night at 6pm on the dot. When our dog was alive, we used to place her dog bowl in the garden for her to eat... Woody would come sit on the garden fence, wait til our dog ate some food then come down and nick the rest of it.... 
Woody got very friendly and even followed me in the house and into the kitchen once when we didn't lay food down for our dog one evening!
He still comes to our garden now, even though our dog has now passed away.
I have some great shots of Woody with a mouthful of food standing by the dog's bowl!
Anyway, just a quick hi to everyone, and hope to chat some more here soon.
Cheers.

Hi Geoff,
I originally hail from London too (South West). Many moons ago, I had a wood pigeon that visited my garden regularly and he/she would visit the bird table with me sitting close by. I felt most privileged! I called him/her Sinai!! 
Hey - welcome to WAB. Friendly, informative and addictive (very!)

Hiya Dutchess!
I love wood pigeons, such nice birds, and they remind me a bit of my parrot, their eyes and colouring are similar.
I have uploaded the pics, but cant see them there.... hmmmm, odd.
