What's flying near you?

Give Spud a medal. Pigeons are a menace. On the other hand, several white doves have taken to chilling out on ours and neighbour's roof tops. It started with 1, then 2 now it's up to 7. We think they're from a dovecot some 3 miles away. They like to roost under nexdoor's solar panels and are so curious and nosy they shuffle to the edge of the roof just to see what we're doing. Nextdoor don't like them much, I think they're lovely, as we know, nextdoor are wierd. Having explained that a row of shrubs deliniating the 2 front gardens were spring flowering and flowered on growth made during summer, she's gone and chopped all new growth off. They're her shrubs so she's entitled but anything growing seems at risk.
