After an absence of nearly 2 weeks the female
Collared Dove returned with her mate to the feeders in the back garden. I'm guessing she was sitting on eggs locally, which is why we have only seen the male in the garden. So yet again I'm guessing they have hatched and is the reason why she is back collecting food. However her return to the garden wasn't appreciated by the resident
Woodpigeons, as the photo below shows only to well.
Out the way I'm coming in!!!
