Collared Dove Not In Flight

Do you know what .. it is really difficult to get a picture of a Collared Dove in flight .. I remembered trying to do it back in the house in Llantwit Fardre and failing, and after editing some old 2012 photos last night, I thought I would have another go today ...

I failed ...

So instead you have this rather pleasing one instead .. I had two blurry shots (taken a 1/1000sec) and that was it ..

I have finally got around to ordering some food from the RSPB shop today .. there is a sack on its way now .. so they had better continue to use their new restaurant!
Another of the Collared Dove from this evening ...
