    Who has the upper hand here?

    My feeling is the Collared Dove who seems to be guarding the feeding point LOL SF

    Eurasian Collared Doves

    From 2017, taken shortly after mating. Since 2018, when the little row of evergreens they nested in at the back of a neighbour's garden was drastically reduced in height with a chain saw, I've seen only one Collared Dove (and fewer Goldcrests and Coal Tits). The doves are attractive birds and I...

    There were about 150 plus of these globally threatened individuals ... foraging peacefully ... as 'peace is their middle name ... ... and then the Eagle flew over the ground ... ... panicking them and making them take off en masse ... Giving us this rarest of rare moment ...

    No Collared Doves here since 2018: I dug out this old shot as an emblem of peace (here's hoping). Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well. John

    Last sun rays of 2021

    I stayed with my parents from x-mas until today. A lot of rain past week. Thankfully, it was pretty sunny yesterday (today too) and I was able to capture this dove in the last sun rays of 2021 at our place. All the best for you in 2022.

    What did you say!

    I try to make the most of the Collared Doves when they're around, as they just disappear for months at a time. Loved the look on this one's face - looks like someone being told off for something he's always done LOL

    He just needed to shift to the left a bit LOL. I think Collared Doves are rather attractive, there's often one about, though not quite all the year. For a few months I may get two and, rarely, more come along; think the record has been four (so far LOL) TTTW

    Giving me a nice blue background for the Collared Dove up in the tree. Still rather chilly, as you can tell from his fluffed up appearance, but nothing like what was to come in a few weeks.

    Back home and a Collared Dove landed on my neighbour's roof. These are regular but occasional visitors, usually a pair visiting for a few weeks about 3 times a year. This, of course was the first visit for 2019, so possibly checking all was safe to bring his partner in.
