Thanks PB, normally 2 or 3 doves about. So much more activity when it has snowed...

With the snow all gone Linda, we are back to the few usual visitors...

Thanks William :) Funny the birds that don't come in. We have gulls flying over all the time, never seen one in the garden. Perhaps need to put some chips out :rolleyes:

Sadly Collared Doves have been reduced to the occasional visitor in my garden. At one time a couple of years ago 4 or 5 at a time every day was the rule. I believe trico and bird flu have taken their toll.

That's a shame Jack, ours have been fairly consistent. It's the blackbirds that are missing for us at the moment.
