I love these two.

Lovely photo of these sweet birds. I always think they have a very sad expression to them.

I think they look very calm Shirley. I'm sure one of them visited the garden regularly a few years ago as she or he doesn't mind me near. I still call her Sweetie haha..

Lovely photo and lovely story Janey 🙂. Can’t believe you have sunshine while we have grey skies and a fearsome frost! -4 in the greenhouse last night.

The last few days here have been sunny and bright, but with the thickest frost everywhere. I can imagine Sheila, it's been -3 here. At least it's killing off all the bugs, so we should start with a nice clean spring when it's time..

They are so pretty aren't they Janey.

I love that you still call one of them 'Sweetie'! I have been keeping the water thawed for the birds and even saw a Great Tit drinking from the bowl on the grass earlier. Surprising, as they rarely stop long enough to eat from the feeders, let alone stay on the ground. Times are tough for the wildlife ... :o(

They really are Rose and so gentle too..🥰

Haha Sheila, one of them could be Sweetie's offspring, if not her..I like to think that..😏 it has been hard for them all hasn't it, lovely you saw the Great Tit, they will have been desperate for water won't they?
Temps here have raised a little, it's 1° now..🥴

Of all the species of Doves & Pigeons I think this is my favourite, Janey! We see them very often around here & their call is unmistakable & can be heard for many months of the year!

Janey, I don't want to boast, but we had 5 degrees today, mind you it still didn't see off the frost in some parts of my garden.

Lovely pair. We have had a little Wren in the garden. I saw it on Jan 1st. Was so thrilled!

We also had 5C today! Only a little sun but lots of clouds. Tomorrow is forecast to be a better day in every way!
