This is a first, a collared dove has set up nest in the gite pool eating area, a flimsy nest which doesn't look as though it will hold eggs let alone how ever many young there is when hatched!
Whilst on the subject of nests, we've got lots going on at the moment, on the opposite side of the gite pool is a light outside the tobacco barn gite where a Black Redstart has nested on top of it, in the main barn, 4 pairs of swallows are nesting (you can imagine the racket) plus the usual pair in the boiler room, Blue Tits are in one of the nest boxes, one pair of Blackbirds have already had a brood of young that have fledged. Other pairs spotted are Goldfinch, Redstarts, Great & Marsh Tits, Wagtails, Nuthatches, Robins and Wrens. The Nightingales and Golden Oriels have returned plus the Peregrine Falcons are in their usual spot on Le Roque.
It's all go!
