wood pigeons
Cooing gray birds
Wood pigeons are large, plump wild pigeons common across Europe and parts of Asia, recognizable by their gray plumage, white neck patch, and distinctive cooing call.
They thrive in woodlands, parks, and gardens, often feeding on crops—making them both familiar backyard birds and agricultural pests.
The wood pigeons were raiding the vegetable patch again.
