*gets binoculars out*

Oh how sweet !

I was going to ask you Sweet if it interferes with your signal

 

We have housemartins that nest in our loft every year - sounds like they have hobnail boots on when they walk about.

 

Your doves will probably nest there every year now.

we've got a nest next to the bathroom-its been there for ages-you can see the dickie birds fly in and out in the morning

i havent got the heart to get my pellet gun and shoot them

or my OH said i havent got the heart to shoot the noisy little twittering gits

Your photography skills leave a lot to be desired 

 

 

 

I'm not sure which one to keep my fingers crossed the tightest for

"Sweet Summer's Dove Watch" I'm looking forward to your updates.

 

 

How much for a dozen?

Do they still have satellite dishes on houses, i never see them 

 

 

 

 

I mean working ones. 

I have one

I presume it works lol

 

I never see them.

It works yes

 

We can't get cable in our area so everyone has a dish

well at least it isn't one of the old white ones that says sky on it in big blue letters

Don't remember those but i do remember one of our neighbours being one of very first to get satellite TV - this was way back in the 80s - the dish had to sit in his garden and was near enough the size of the house

 Me too 

It will be the forum version of "Springwatch". Hi Baz.

Is it a collared dove? 

LOL.... Yes Hi there Yogi Hope you are having a good Easter.

So far we haven't had any problems with the tv signal, I had no idea the nest was there until I tied my walking boots and looked up to talk to mr summer and spotted twigs behind him.. I agree the photo isn't the best lol the sun was in the wrong direction for decent photography light by then.. I don't think they're collared doves, I will check and get back to you tho

 Looking forward to the progress reports Sweet

 

(has anyone told you that you always get perfect pictures if you take them at 9.59?)

 

Thanks Hoochie, I'll be sure to try that I managed to enhance the pic using iphoto, but I dont know how to put it back onto the phone.. Just for reference, how do I upload a pic onto the forum if I'm on my computer?

Yes. how else do so many of us get to watch Sky TV?

It looks like a wood pigeon to me.

Yea fluffy ,looking at the size of the twigs and the messy nest it could be a wood pigeon.

 Any time Sweet!

 

if you're on your computer you can put your pic on photobucket or flickr etc and insert it as an image into your post using a link

 

 

 

We have a pair of wood pigeons nesting in a tree in next door's garden. They are on a level with our bedroom window. I say good morning to them every morning when I draw the curtains

Sweet. If the pic you want to show is from another site then you use the icon to the left of the 'Face'.

If however the pic is on your own computer then you use 'Add Attachment' at the bottom of the page.

Thanks folks, I'll give that a try Mr summer says he popped his head right up to the window and the nesting dove just looked at him! I think she must be quite content on the nest!

Rexi, how great is that every morning Chirp chirp chirp!

That is a Eurasian Collared Dove, or maybe an African Collared Dove.
