There is a very watchful pigeon who visits my ledge. Thought I would snap and share him with you all.

Looks like a very alert Rock Dove you have there Frank.  Handsome birds aren't they when you see them up close?

Beautiful bird, one showed up on the bird feeder by the side window yesterday, I wondered what kind he was.
That is very pretty landscaping in the background, is the rest of the view from you window as nice?

You know... I noticed the palms and thought to myself... "there's palm trees in Sweden?" Then I remembered you were in Malaysia!

Frank, I like your lookout Pigeon!
We have a flock of them that live at our landscaping shop. They watch over my plant holding area, and are pretty friendly with us.

Uh-oh, I've been rumbled! Where can I hide from the Lookout Pigeon? He sees all.
