Seem to be friends!

I love all the soft mauves in this pic., including the collar dove! The light is very gentle.

Are the doves noisy? We have some here that seem to be shouting "We TOLD you" over and over again which gets a bit wearing when you're weeding...
(though there doesn't seem to be any need for weeding inyour very tidy garden...)

How pretty it alls looks and with the dove and blackbird friends. My two doves don't seem to visit anymore, they've been replaced by a pair of wood pigeons! I am not impressed.

Lovely photo, Julia. Agree with Ange, the colours are very pretty..obviously highlighted more at the time of day.
I haven’t seen any doves for a little while either..but, blasted wood pigeons!!!! My little steps up to the seed feeder were spotted with poo this afternoon!!!! Aargh!!!! We just keep chasing them off!!!!

Julia, what a lovely photo, in the early morning light. Your Magnolia tree is full of flower and looking great. A beautiful garden …. you must be very good with a lawn mower as there is some tricky areas of lawn to cut. Did one of the doves fly off as you took the photo, as I can only see one ? ….. OR ….. Do I need to go to Specsavers? <];~)

Ha, Ha …. Just zoomed in and I spotted the blackbird on the other side of the arch. So need for me to make an appointment for an eye test after all.
