On watch in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney

Feral Pigeons, Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney

Our holiday in New South Wales

September 2007

I just had to take this photo of two Rock Doves (Feral Pigeons) on watch in the middle of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. They seemed to be on watch. Quite a few children were playing on the water’s edge just a few metres from this sign post. Anyone could have easily slipped into the ornamental pond. These pigeons were ready to sound the alarm.
