If you have been following this blog for any length of time you will know that I usually start these with something along the lines of “This isn’t the picture I intended to produce today!” Today is no exception, so you get another garden shot…I’m beginning to get quite a collection of the birds in the garden.

Did you know that the Collared Dove was only introduced into Britain in 1955, in Norfolk. Now they are across the UK and very common. We certainly get plenty here, the dark assassin has dispatched at least one of them that we know of. They are also monogamous, so there you go.
