Does anyone know why wood pigeons lie down in the grass on our lawn? We've
seen several of them do it but can't say we've noticed it particularly
before this year. It doesn't seem to matter whether the grass has just
been cut or not, nor whether it's rained or is dry. They're alone when
they do it and often remain stationary for several minutes. We haven't
noticed that the collared doves do it, only the wood pigeons, it seems.

Have a look at:-

then scroll down quite a way untill you come to a photo of a pigeon doing
just what you say. I couldn't see a reason for the behaviour though.
