Hi. All
Just had to share these pics, I came home from work today and found this dove sitting on the gutter, I tried to feed it with a little bird seed from my hand and to my absolute delight I suddenly had a little mate.

yes it was a nice experience to have this happen, ive tried to encourage a robin thats frequently on the feeder but no such luck, i wonder if the dove is from the pair that perch in the tree at the bottom of the garden and if it would be as trusting again, time will tell  ok2
