    1. I was sitting in the water waiting for this bird to come in for a drink hence the low angle for the photo. Thanks Ferdy. Posted 9 years ago

The common bronzewing is a species of medium-sized, heavily built pigeon. Native to Australia and one of the country's most common pigeons, the common bronzewing is able to live in almost any habitat, with the possible exception of very barren areas and dense rainforests. Its advertising call is an extraordinary mournful "whooo" repeated at metronomic intervals for an interminable length of time.
