Collared Doves

The natural rodent killer struck yesterday.

Unfortunately we don't have any rodents at the moment, just birds . . . . .

There were feathers everywhere on the side of the garden and it took me some time to work out what had happened . . . .

One of the Collared Doves . . . . . 

I am very upset, I just love those birds (they have such pretty faces and I was shocked to know they were pigeons!!) and they have visited us for a couple of years, even in the winter they come.  At first there was just one but then the partner was found and they always came together, except when they had eggs in the nest and then they took it in turns.

No more.

I was able to follow the trail of feathers and found where they led through the fence into the next door's garden . . . . . the fence is now mended and secure!

I get so upset to see just one dove now visiting . . . . I want to go and hug it, explain to it that it is Nature and I have closed the gap in the fence . . . 

I hope that a new partner can be found for next year . . . .
