HOLD THE BUS!! Just glanced through the window as I heard the adult bird cooing and cannot believe both squabs are back on the nest!!!! I can only surmise they woke up hungry this morning 200m away at the bottom of our street and found their way back! Should not surprise me really as they are pigeons with amazing homing instincts! Quite pleased about this!

Don't know when to leave home by the sounds of it Benn Good for you though having them back!

Cheers Paul. Must say it worried me they went 9 days early even though they seemed to fly fairly well. I think its feeding that brought them back. They are currently sat snugly on the nest enjoying the sunny day! Here is a snap I have just taken:

Birds finally went Thursday evening, Saw one of them with its parent last night but weather here is foul. Really enjoyed these unusual birds!

Such a sweet photo. Our wood pigeon is busy collecting nesting twigs again. I think they are nesting next door. We've had adult and young collared doves in the garden. Its great as we haven't seen them for years.

Thanks Sammi. We have been seeing one of the fledglings now and again. It was on our shed with its parents yesterday and its feathers had turned a beautiful pinky light grey. Unfortunately they were chased off by our back garden Wood pigeon who will not tolerate any other wood pigeons near the feeders!
