Turtle Doves a short stroll away

As most of you will recall, we had two pairs of Turtle Doves breeding in our small garden every year for nearly a decade until our 'neighbour' cut down their nesting trees while we were on holiday a couple of years ago.

Although we no longer have these delightful birds as garden visitors, there is a pair just a short walk away: today I came across the male quite by chance, dozing on a power line in the midday sun!
