TURTLE DOVE



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>




The morning started dull and wet when I first looked out this morning,but decided to take a drive down to Drift Res which is the on the West side of Penzance.
The reason was there has been a Turtle Dove staying around for the past three or four days,though this is not a new bird for me I do not have any decent images of one, so was hoping I could put this right.
Upon arrival there were a couple of other birders there, but the bird had not shown, I then spoke to the chap who lives in the house and he told me it had been there earlier.
After a wait of about 30mins it flew onto the telegraph pole and wires where it would stay for a few minutes and then disappear back into the garden.
I spent the next 11/2 hours with it coming up and then flying down again for about 20 minutes, still I did manage to get a good few shots of it.
So another year tick in the bag and a few good images to boot, it don't get much better than this.
