At long last

I have been waiting for a long time for these little chaps to visit the garden and this morning they finally arrived. Taken through the patio window with the Tamron 70-300.

Doves. All I get in my garden is bloody doves!! And butcher birds. Nice colourful little bloke, this one. I'd crop the hell out of it though, and improve his colours even more.

Sam, I have tried a crop and it results in loss of image quality probably because it was taken through double glazing!. Your Doves and Butcher birds sound a lot better than my scabby old Pigeons

Thanks for all comments.
