The wild ancestor of the domestic pigeon, characterized by its grey plumage, iridescent neck, and two distinct black wing bars. It is highly adaptable and widespread.
Where to spot
Coastal cliffs, rocky outcrops, and increasingly urban environments worldwide, as feral populations derived from domestic stock have become widespread.
How to spot
Look for them on cliffs, old buildings, or in urban settings. They are recognizable by their typical pigeon shape, two distinct black wing bars, and often a white rump (though this feature is variable in feral birds).
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight hours. They can be seen throughout the day.
