Not the most subtle or agile fliers, are they? A great series of pictures showing that explosive burst of power as they exit the foliage. I once saw about a hundred of them fly out from a single tree - I didn't even know there were any in there at all.
Thanks John. They are a very agile species and survive due to their flexible eating habits. It s great to see a flock of 500 on a field and taking off if disturbed. Not that the farmers are too happy about it.{:))
lol I thought this was going to be about woodpeckers, especially the Great Spotted, cos I call them Woodies! :-) I do know this sound very well as I'm always startling Wood Pigeons in my garden - they seem very nervous birds. You captured a wonderful sequence here!
