Hello Mate. Nice shots of the doves. Hope they stick around.
Finally joined the Endurance yesterday. It does not look brilliant. A lot of work before I sail back into southern waters. Just hope they keep her.

I enjoy watching the birds in my backyard; but am no good at knowing what they are...except for a few obviously ones. Had fun watching a hawk trying to catch it's next meal the other night, a pesty squirrel.
