If you can't beat them...

Stock Dove.

Working round home today with some gardening.  Looking out of the living room window at one point I spotted a couple of irregular visitors to the garden.  Stock Doves!

Stock Doves are resident breeders in the UK but unfortunately have been given Amber conservations status.  This is owning to a decline in the population.  While they aren't normally terribly ,long lived (3 years on average) the record for a rung bird is nearly nine and a quarter years set in 1962.
