The genus Columba is the largest within the pigeon family, and has the widest distribution. Its members are typically pale grey or brown, often with white head or neck markings or iridescent green or purple patches on the neck and breast. The neck feathers may be stiffened and aligned to form grooves, but these are absent in this species. The Stock Dove is less grey in plumage than other pigeons in Europe.
The three western European Columba pigeons, though superficially alike, have very distinctive characteristics. The Wood Pigeon may be readily distinguished by the white on its neck (in adults) and wings. The Rock Pigeon and Stock Dove are more alike in size and plumage, but wild specimens of the former have a white rump and two well-marked dark bars on the wing, while the rump of the Stock Dove is grey and its wing bars incomplete. The feral pigeon (the same species as Rock Pigeon) is highly variable, and indistinctly marked grey specimens with the white rump missing can sometimes resemble the Stock Dove quite closely. The Stock Dove is sociable as well as gregarious, often consorting with Wood Pigeons, though doubtless it is the presence of food which brings them together. : The genus Columba is the largest within the pigeon family, and has the widest distribution.

In Europe, the breeding population is estimated to number 520000-730000 breeding pairs, equating to 1560000-2190000 individuals (BirdLife International 2004). Europe forms 75-94% of the global range, so a very preliminary estimate of the global population size is 1700000-3000000 individuals, although further validation of this estimate is needed. : http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/spec...

Icelandic Rock Pigeon - Columba livia - Bjargdúfa - Dúfa

Birds can be annoying early mornings and ruins your lie-ins. The earliest riser in the morning is the Blackbird - which usually begins foraging 11 minutes after daybreak. It is thought its relatively large eyes help it see better in the dim light of dawn than other birds. Ten minutes later the Robins and Blue tits start singing - followed by the Dunnock, Fieldfare, Magpie and Song Thrush. Meanwhile, some of nature´s noisiest singers, such as the Mistle Thrush, Jackdaw, House Sparrow and Starling - become active half an hour after daybreak. Among the laziest birds which don´t start until 50 minutes after sunrise are the Magpie and Corrion Crow, while not great singers - they are a very noisy alarm clock.
