Hello Geoffrey,
Pigeons and doves have been my all time favorite birds since childhood. How neat to finally see these beautiful rock doves nesting in their natural (wild) habitat and not in the city. What is interesting to me is that we can clearly see how simply made their nest is, in typical pigeon fashion. Wonderful composition to show these four birds at home on the rock cliff. This shot makes my day!!

Sorry Geoffrey, being a learner in photography here I prefer more shutter speed then aperture like Exposure: f/4.0, 1/250 seconds, as the birds moves more.
