Stock Dove
These are birds I really struggle to identify in flight... in fact you can read that as "I can't"!

So I was really pleased when Peter saw these flying over and doubly pleased when they landed near the hide.

Not a Lifer, but only the second picture I've got of one - the previous one (in Wales) was very distant.

I'm sure we must get them round here, but I've just never seen any.

Very often an overlooked species, having too many similarities with other more obvious relatives. Nice spot & well taken image Delia, tfs.
