Rock Dove/Feral Pigeon

Columba livia

A recording doesn’t have to include a rare bird to become one of our favourites. In a Spanish village, children are playing football on a nearby street while Feral Pigeons Columba livia coo and rookiteecoo from the eaves of a house. This is a surprisingly rich sound, if only we listen closely.
