This chap is a regular garden visitor of mine, & is feeding on discarded bread crusts (that were removed to make delicious Nigella Lawson ‘bread sauce’).
 

The common wood pigeon (Columba palumbus) is a large species in the dove & pigeon family.  It belongs to the Columba genus &, like all pigeons and doves, belongs to the family Columbidae.  It is locally known in southeast England as the Culver.
