        This morning, down by One Mile Creek, a lone Crested Pigeon was fossicking about in the bracken when I came along.
        As I drew closer it seemed unperturbed by my presence, kept pecking away at whatever grubs lay beneath the dry leaves.
        Pigeons in general are pretty soft targets for photographers, they tend to be more trusting than others, so I kept it in frame
        until it settled under a shrub. I followed to within less than three metres. It knew that I was a friendly photographer and posed for a portrait.

                Gasp, this is great.
                Loving the blue grey colors and tan eucalyptus leaves and twigs under the dappling light.
                It is captivating, I tell you.
                You should be very happy, Mark.

                    Nice work, Mark.

                    Beautiful coloring on that bird, nicely set off by the tans around it. Very well exposed and focused.
