These Pigeons caught my eye. They were in this ploughed field and it was blowing a very cold wind right of the sea at North Foreland. You would have thought that they would find somewhere a bit more sheltered.

Hi Richard,
They probably were after the worms if it had not long been ploughed! I had a similar experience with crows and rooks this afternoon but the camera was elsewhere! It is quite amazing how birds can seem to stand in bitterly cold winds and driving rain straight off the sea and not seem fazed! Interesting capture! I would crop the out of focus foreground as it is a little distracting with an image like this! Good vision though! Nice environmental capture!

Are sure someones not in the hedge and these are his decoys?? Looks like a pretty good pattern to me
No, seriously very well spotted and captured. They are probably sitting there because there is spilt grain or seed and they are greedy buggers
Nice shot
