It has been a while since my last post . Having been away for some days during the last three weeks, I walked into our sunlounge around 07:30am to see a pair of Stock Doves under my garden feeders.

In my experience, Stock Doves are very shy birds. Very difficult to approach, even in the countryside, so it would be a total surprise if I was able to open my patio doors to try to get a decent shot without shooting through double glazed windows.

Anyway, I got the camera and carefully opened the doors. They looked at me and carried on feeding. What a bonus so I managed a good number of shots before they departed. Early morning light superb.

I have lived in this house since 1985 and have never had Stock Doves visiting. A real delight.
