The Collared Doves are 'busy' here, even during that light smattering of snow we had last week.

We've had a pair of Collared Doves visiting the garden for months now but I've not seen them for quite a few days. I'm wondering if they've moved on, I will keep an eye out for them now I know they can nest early. Daft thing is though January and February can be really bad months for cold and ice, crazy.

Ive seen the Doves mating over the week end...they never really leave the garden at all...Can hear the male calling throughout the day...Looks like it will be the third year running for nesting here....
