Collared Doves

Make love, not war - that's the Collared Dove's philosophy for life. These mild sweet little doves are often very tame and seem to breed for most of the year. They nest in silly places though, as in the gutter of house this April. That nest didn't last so they built over a wall light instead.

The story of the Collared Dove's spread right across Europe over the last fifty years is very strange. But spread they have and now there isn't a town or village in England without them.
