In the summer I saw quite a number of large flocks of Collard Dove. In fact I came close to running a few over as they ambled along in the road, almost oblivious to the danger coming towards them.
These pictures, taken at Pennington Flash show one at more sedate times, having a drink.
Pretty doves and lovely photos. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week ahead!
