Doris and David

This is a picture of similar collared doves to Doris and David, who have taken up residency at Michael House. We love them, they snuggle together and groom each other, they have a gentle air about them, and they are not afraid when we are near to them. They issue a calming cooing sound. We hope to provide them with corn, and they seem to be eyeing us to see whether that might be our plan.

The weather at present is awful, and they must have taken cover somewhere, I have not seen them today, but, then, looking out of the window has not been my favourite occupation today, any more than sitting on telegraph wires is theirs!

I have two as well that sit next to each other in the cherry tree. Mind you, now that the tree has been stripped of cherries I haven't seen them for a while. The jackdaws attack in a gang. Two stand guard while the other six remove all the cherries!
