RIP Young Dove

This morning both buns were thumping, at first glance for no apparent reason.

I went out to them and saw lots of white feathers under a large conifer and also down the side of the house.

I then saw a young collared dove laid down behind our conservatory. There was a bit of blood too.

I don't know whether a bigger bird or a cat had it but it really upset me. I scooped it into a bag and the poor thing was still warm.

I've been thinking about it all day

Aww,shame sounds like a cat more than likely.I have a couple of moggies that try to lurk in the shrubs near my bird feeders .If I see them I go out and rattle a pot at them They are not welcome.R IP little dove.

Poor little dove, rest easy now. x

So sorry, I know how upsetting that can be, fly free little dove xxx
