Noted in the garden on Friday was this Stock Dove. Very similar to a woodpigeon, but a bit more fat in the body and with a thinner beak. It generally hangs around with woodpigeons to make it that bit more difficult to notice, although the lack of pink colouring on the chest, and the missing white band on the nape of the neck make it easier to distinguish.
The woodpigeon's have worked out that if there is a lack of seed in their tray, then the fat balls can be eaten if the stretch far enough out to reach them.
