Billing and… er… cooing

The billing went on for a couple of minutes. There were 10 seconds between the third and the final photo.

    I can't get over the shy look on their faces in the final photo. 😆

    It is not shyness, they are both satisfied 😆

    ZT, I'm not sure where there nest is. It must be in one of the trees, but probably too high up for a photo. I'll seeif I can spot any young ones later on 😀

    I know it's terrible, but I cannot help but think that more woodpigeons means more bird food expense! 😉 They (and the stock doves) really do chomp through supplies :chef: :insane:

    ZT, there's no danger of me climbing trees, but I can't be sure about him.

    Adele, they don't cost a bean as they are hopeless on the hanging feeders (and we don't have any flat feeders/tables).Otherwise, yes… they'd scoff the lot!
