Courtship

We sat in the garden for a couple of hours chatting to my sister and brother in law, who were returning from a weekend with their eldest daughter, Only a five hour journey from ours to their home, bank holiday Monday is always going to be busy. It was good to see them, the first time in well over two years.

On a nearby roof wood pigeons are still courting. It’s always the same. He coos and bows, makes a show of himself, until ….. she flies off. He stands there and just looks puzzled. It’s a wonder there are any young wood pigeons around.
