I adjusted the levels a bit which may have had an effect on the
saturation but the colours look pretty true to me.. A bit of motion blur
on the beak.
I need to have a hide on the garage roof so I can be within a few
metres. The only problem is I may have to wait for hours. I have a two
week window by which time the figs will be finished.

That looks a lot more like a pigeon than the other one!
You certainly nailed focus on that one.
Did you amp up the saturation on post processing?
BTW, we have moved to lockdown level 4 now so have more liberties. We may now exercise
between 06:00 & 09:00. Certain specified businesses are now open & fast food
deliveries are allowed but no booze or cigarettes.

Late this afternoon while I was gardening, a large flock of Green Wood Pigeons visited a
Fig tree overhanging my carport. Now, these are very difficult birds to photograph because
they are very skittish & will explode out of the tree if disturbed. I slowly crept into
the house to get my camera & slowly crept as close as I could get (about 20m). Most of
the birds were in the middle of the tree but I managed to find a couple exposed in the weak
sunshine. I then slowly backed off & put my camera back in the house before returning
to pack away the garden tools. Then it happened - with much commotion the whole flock shot
out of the tree in all directions. The Afrikanns name for this bird is Papagaaiduif (Parrot
Dove) for obvious reasons. This is the pick of a bunch of average shots:
