Collared Doves

Here is another picture from the garden bird table. I was delighted this morning to "capture" this pair of Collared Doves, because while they are regular visitors to the garden they are also the most timid of all the visitors and take flight at the slightest sound or movement. I was also delighted because the lovely background that has been in all my bird pictures is nearly gone! The background is an out of focus cherry tree in full Autumn plumage, but the leaves are falling rapidly and by tomorrow my background will be gone,replaced by empty branches and a concrete wall!
