collared dove

A pair of these guys in a lower branch of a Scots pine.I tried to take the pair of them through the pine needles,but they are quite shy birds.So this was the only shot I managed.

This beautiful Dove on my chimney just before the sun went down.

Taken in the snow through dirty double glazing!

Haven't seen any shots of one of these in the snow. Shame cos they are such lovely birds when you get to know 'em. ;) Although now you've all seen the place that is the secret to my success so hope it doesn't spoil the illusion of my 'talent'. :-O

A picture just asking to be taken.

Shot through my Conservatory at ISO 1600

Sheltering from a light snow shower.

Yet another snow reference, sorry, lol. Same dove as before, just huddled down for warmth. Thanks for your kind comments on my previous posts. ;)

Still indoors, shooting through dirty double glazing but thought this collared dove looked rather pretty.

Not much around so resorted to snapping this guy.

Another shot taken early this morning. I had five young Collared Doves in my garden the other day and this morning one of the adults was busy collecting nesting material! I really need some less demanding lighting to test the camera now. Ron

Result of my first attempt at digiscoping 'in the field'

Spent over three hours in the park yesterday, lots of sounds but not many sights. Did come across a couple of these guys sat preening.
