Columba palumbus palumbus – Resident and common.
Dix considered it more numerous in the north-east than elsewhere; this is true to-day, on account of the more wooded nature of this part. Flocks of winter immigrants are not large, the year 1935 being an exception when thousands were seen in mid-October near Lawrenny (H.A.Gilbert). Probably breeds regularly Caldey (Bertram Lloyd).
