This little chap has been keeping us entertained for the past couple of days - unfortunately no more since this morning, a victim of the local Sparrowhawk.GP

Turtle Dove
'We have been graced by Foxton's first recorded Turtle Doves in
recent times, sadly both males. The first turned up last Sunday, and then a
second appeared yesterday morning. Somewhat bizarrely, both discoveries were in
my garden to start with - in fact both birds were in my garden yesterday
morning.
... they have provided some rather beautiful photo opps. One
may have already gone. I am pretty sure the other one won't stay much longer.
Anyway, here are some pics
- the two birds tussling are a collared dove and a turtle dove. 'MM
