Pigeons on a sunny morning.

On a sunny morning last month I saw a group of pigeons gathering in Budapest's urban environment. 

I thought that flocking helps them to evade predators. 


I took the picture of the pigeons in Ferencvaros, a Budapest neighborhood located close to the Danube river.

  7. We have pigeons here on the Island but for some reason we don't seem to see that many. They don't flock in the streets; well I've never seen any. Nice photo.

  9. What a peaceful moment you’ve captured with those pigeons in Budapest—there’s something timeless about watching nature carry on quietly in the heart of a city. It’s lovely to think about how these small moments connect us to the world around us. I just shared a new travel post. I am excited for you to read it. Thank you. Happy weekend.
