This has been fascinating! So many lovely views although if I looked out and saw those wood pigeons I'd probably let the dogs out...
Not because I don't like them, but because they are thieves and steal the food I put out for the smaller birds.
There used to be a pair of them that nested on the ivy at the back of my house, when it grew up to the roof. They, or thier offspring, came back each year but then I had the ivy cut back to a more manageable level and height. They got very, very confused. I used to love hearing them cooing to each other.
What a daft old bat I am!
