After lunch at the Castel Sant' Angelo's café and a wander around the upper levels and to the top of the castle, I returned to the café for a drink, and sat at a table looking out and across towards St Peters and the Vatican when this pigeon appeared. I think he was expecting me to feed him, and when he realised I was more interested in photographing him instead, the cheeky blighter flew in and landed on the table after some crumbs left by a previous diner! Thought it suitable for Silly Sunday…

Ever the opportunist!
(The pigeon, I mean).
An unusual environmental portrait

That's a very quirky look he's giving you, and a very plump breast under those feathers.
(Thinks - smoked bacon, garlic, olive oil... )

A bird's eye view of the city, Trev. Pasticcio di piccione - dish of the day!!

The pidgeon is well placed but with or without him this is a cracking shot Trev
do you know - I am looking and think this would have made a fine letterbox image minus a good part of that wall, keep the pidgeon in place (just) putting the buildings as a priorty by taking most of the wall out try it - you could be surprised
its not like me to critique your pics as I am a great fan of yours but this might work even better for you
Honestly Trev, I'm disgusted at you, you didn't feed this delightful model even after this ultra cute pose! I'll buy you a bag of bird seed for the next trip!
Certainly an ideal Silly Sunday picture, Trev. It reminds me of a lot of holiday snaps where one's partner gets into the scene, but in this case it's a cheeky pigeon.
