This collared dove spent two days recently sitting on our pergola. There is no sign of a nest and I'm sure that had she laid eggs they would have dropped straight through to the paving slabs below. However, after two days she lost interest and went away.
I managed to get this nice close-up of her - she used to watch me through the window while I was washing up.
Our elderly ornamental cherry tree has done us proud this year. Several times we have thought it would die, but after rather drastic pruning it comes back to life again.
It was buzzing with bees yesterday, small ones as well as big fat bumble bees. I have also seen quite a few butterflies during the past few days, and several varieties too.
I think Poppy looks as if she should have a part in Cranford! Maybe I could find some lace to trim her 'bonnet' for her. She has just been spayed and is a model patient. I am dog-sitting tomorrow while daughter and son-in-law keep an appointment so will have to remember not to fizz her up..
I tried to post these pictures earlier but only got gobbledegook. Luckily I found out how to 'unlock' them so you've two for the price of one today. Nearly as good as Tesco or Sainsbury!
