Description
good morning my friends :o)..day 3 and boy do i need a fag my heads in bits but i `m still gonna fight it :o)..
the wind has been howling all night long reaching gale force at times and is still like it now i`m hoping we get some decent weather over the weekend so as i can get out and take some pics
this shot was taken sunday along with yesterdays shot .i have never seen 1 yet alone 2 of these birds and yet there they were in the cherry tree at the back of my garden .the tree has clematis montona growing through it as i never kept in check last year as we are moving .i later found out by looking at maria`s ( cavalier lady )posting that they are in fact collared doves .its such a great sight to see all these different birds turning up in my garden :o)
have a great day my friends and thanks for your continued support and friendship

Lovely birds aren't they! They rely mainly on food put out by people, so you could keep them coming! Well done on not having a drag!!

Excellent capture, Mick. Beautiful doves indeed!

Excellent capture, Mick. I always have too many tree limbs in the way to get a good shot. "MrsLubner" suggested to me that this might be a ring-necked rather than a collared dove. I checked my bird books closely and still suspect it is a collared dove, but you might want to check your own resources where you are to see if it really is a collared variety. I like the color variation provided by the reddish branches.

Aren't they just lovely and soft Mick, I used to have a pair visit me in my previous garden and they became quite tame, just sitting there on the bird table as I scatterd seed for them. I miss those birds as I do my previous home, but thank you so much for sharing your doves with us today. Hugs Jane xx

No No!!

Awesome capture and find Mick. Excellent. Don't give in. The first few days are the worst.

Even some of the experts have problems identifying them Mick. Either of the species is a good capture, especially if its in your own back yard. Keep up with the nonsmoking, we're all with you. Weekend will be hard just persevere, you can do it. Bravo!!!!! http://www.dovepage.com/species/domestic/Ringneck/ringneckdove.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/wildfacts/factfiles/251.shtml

They are cute..magnific scene Mick! love it :)
MrsLubner
Someone once told me (but don't hold me to it...) that the bluer the beak and better the chance they are males. These have much more gray on them then the ringnecks I have in my yard. Beautiful study of these birds and well captured.
