Good shots, Geoff.
I always struggle to tell the difference between doves and pigeons!

There isn't a difference other than customary usage. Among the UK's species, pigeon is usually used for wood pigeon and feral pigeon, though the former is also known as the ring dove and the latter is a variant of the rock dove.
