Hi Steve,
Thank you for visiting!
I am pleased you found it interesting.
I do wonder what the one thinks of the other... Is he welcoming or threatening..? Who knows what goes through a birds tiny brain!

Superb, Peter!
But I have a (minor) problem here.
I like doves but dislike pigeons. In Spain they are both called palomas and equally revered.
When I see legions of little old woman with basketloads of breadcrumbs feeding the flying rats (pigeons) because they are the 'doves of peace', it makes my blood boil!!

Hi Andy ,
Your visit is much appreciated. Thank you!
I am so happy that you like the scene.
I must say that feral pigeons are pretty well hated by everybody here too! Fortunately we don't get them in the villages. We do get the occasional wood pigeon though www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/50074514

Haha, good one! At first sight I didn't even realize one was alive;-)
I agree with Andy, pigeons are a pest in towns. You even come across them in Underground stations, rats on the rails and the pigeons under the ceiling...Of course it's partly our fault for leaving so much food around.

I do wonder what the dove thinks of the other bird, who obviously was there first!!
Maybe a friend...?

My dear Peter,

So wonderful!!
Maybe the lovely bird is thinking of sharing the water with a real friend... So maybe soon he will find a new friend somewhere...

Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.

Maybe it would be nice for him to share a bath with a very nice friend!
Perhaps they might fall in love and find a nice nest together even....
