Today I saw a Rainbow Pigeon!
Rainbow Pigeon – 31 May 2022 – Yatova – Spain
[The first photo was taken through a window screen as the Rainbow Pigeon was flying away and after a rush to grab my phone and open the Camera App. You can just make out the pink blob in the sky. The second photo is a better one I found}.
So, a few things went through my mind at the same time:
- Did I just imagine that?!
- Did some kid have a pet pigeon and paint it all the colours of the Rainbow?!.
- Everything is evolving, is this what a Pigeon’s upgrade looks like?!
I think No, No, and Probably not but it’s a nice idea; to the above.
On deciding to look it up on the internet, I found an image of another Rainbow Pigeon that was seen in London UK last year. Although they are seemingly rare to spot in Europe, many versions of these are commonplace in some countries in Asia and also in Australia.
Whilst I have since left that small sleepy village in Spain and thereby have little chance of seeing at least that same Rainbow Pigeon again, it was nevertheless a cool thing to see. It is a reminder that anything can happen, any time, anywhere. It is a reminder to appreciate the small things and how those little things can make us smile too. And, it is a reminder to look up, ‘cos you never know what you might be missing.
