Pigeon or Dove?
I had a visitor who took up residence on the scupper. Not sure why. I don't know if it's a pigeon or someone's white dove. I tired to get it to fly but it wasn't scared of me on the ground.
Hi Marcia, I think this is a dove... it looks to have a slightly pink beak. We once almost bought a house that had a dovecote, often regrettedit! He's probably got a home and will take off soon, but if not, maybe this little guy could be the founder member of a dove cote for you? Jane Gray
Thanks for sharing at Fishtail Cottage's Garden party! My dad raises pigeons for showing all over the world - so i sent him your link to see if there are ways to tell the difference between the two! I'll get back to you as soon as i hear from him. xoox, tracie

Jane - it looks pretty forlorn up there on my scupper. I wonder if it went astray after someone's wedding release.
Hmmm, doesn't look like the doves we have here. Sorry I can't help. But they are great shots!
