Puddles

I watched these sweet little Collared Doves testing the water in their paddling pool this morning. They were having a very good time until Mr. Hopalong (our resident overweight Wood Pigeon) came in to join them and frightened them off - I think he was only trying to be friendly though - he's always on his own and doesn't appear to have found Mrs. Right this year.

I've been at work ALL day so didn't even notice that the weather had improved; actually it's been a very nice day out there - so Mr. T informs me - he's been flying!!
