Collard Dove

I was going to blip Dougal today, but he was naughty and would not pose. Not as naughty as Florence was last night. She was yesterday’s blip, sleeping on the roof, but then she would not come in for her supper. She gets on the outside of the balcony railings and runs up and down the gutter. She knows how to get down, but decided not to come in. It was very cold and I went out onto the balcony several times to try and coax her in. I also went outside, at the front and the back every half-an-hour, but it was not until ten minutes past midnight that she decided she wanted to come in. She was very cold and immediately ate the contents of her bowl.
 
I spent the day working and took today’s picture of a Ring-necked Dove through the conservatory window.
