PostSubject: west side story   Tue Apr 26, 2011 2:53 pm

as i've mentioned before Apollo and NewMissus own the balcony - but we have more than one Smile
on the west side of the flat our living room is all window at one end and looks out onto another balcony
recently we started putting food out there and after many weeks the visitors arrived
first it was blue tits and sparrows, then a robin, sometimes great tits, and the odd sighting of dunnock, wren, magpie...

and a woodpigeon, difficult to photograph as it/they are very wary, not sure how many visit we only ever see one up here
but plenty are about




and....
the collared doves, only one visits at a time now so i guess they're nesting nearby


the dove will make eye contact and is quite comfortable being watched as long as there are no sudden noises/movements
sunbathing



i hope to grab some more pics now the light is better and we might have the door open some days

I couldn't believe how relaxed those collared doves look, even sunbathing nearby! Precious!

thanks - the pij in the pot is the woodpigeon, no name as yet as we can't tell them apart
here is Apollo, photographed at breakfast this morning


i'm sure Wisden (in my avatar) appreciates the virtual attention! Tickled Pink
he is just a baby in the pic...now he's a senior rattie "uncle" but he still loves fuss
