Hi Angie .. Lol.
This week, I would like to think everyone has either a person, or a pet, or a plant to hug ;o)

... or all three !

Coo.......

Love is in the air. :0)

Hello Pam ...
The Silver Birch branches are an ideal
place for feathery flirting ;o)

Lovely photos TT. Guess you'll be having lots more collared doves later on!

Thanks Terra. I have a pair just now too. They are such pretty and romantic creatures aren't they! :)

Hi Feverfew ...
Yes ... looking forward to baby doves :o)))

Hello Karen ...
Nice to know that you, too, have collared doves cooing and kissing ;o)

Very sweet - a rather cold valentine's week - bought my card - feel so embarrassed lol

Hi Paul .. thanks ..
Well done on having bought your card already :o)))

Yes a very Romantic blog TT - I'd better get out and buy OH a card tomorrow it was too cold and snowy to venture out to town today! lol!

Thank you Tracey ...
I hope you find a card for your OH ...
and in sunny weather ;o)

lovely Terra, my two have been making out on my arch lol, no shame lol,
iv got baz a card and some chocs,
lovely photos :o)) xx

Hi Sandra ... thanks...
Ah... soon you'll have baby doves ...
the patter of tiny doves ... Lol.

Lucky Baz ... card AND chocs ! ;o) xxx

Lovely pictures Terra, my two Lovey and Dovey were last seen 2 weeks ago getting very close indeed! I think maybe they are on a nest somewhere now, will let you know when they return hopefully with new additions ;0)

Hi Carole ...
That's nice you have nesting doves :o)

lol Terra, they are special, i so enjoy the doves being around :o)
carole it does sound like they are getting ready for nesting, its a bit cold yet though i thinks, they will need a winter Duvet at the moment haha

Lol. Sandra ... let's hope they moulted enough feathers in the summer to fill their dove duvets ;o)

Lovely blog Terra, I`ve been birdwatching today and have to agree there are Twitterpated birds here as well, Mrs Blackbird isn`t quite" In the Mood" ( love Glenn Miller") judging by her reactions though, she is definitely playing hard to get and was really squawking at poor Mr B..and only interested in food, whereas the Doves are X-rated, we started out with two and now have about a dozen visiting all the time...

Hi Sue... thanks
Goodness ! .. in Lincs, you have very flirty doves !!!

but, seems like Mrs. Blackbird isn't romantic yet ...
maybe she likes different dance music ;o)

Hi TT
I hope you enjoy a cosy week :o) xxx

Thanks Hywel ...
All cosy here, despite the blizzards ! :o) xxx

I like the photos of collar doves. They are so pretty in the sun beams :)

Hi Katarina ...
thank you ...
yes, their feathers do catch the sun very nicely :o)

Lovely dovely blog TT super pictures have a warm and cosy Valentine week :o)

Thanks Neena ...
Hoping you enjoy lots of hugs with the youngsters :o)

Pretty pics TT, I have lovey Doveys here too and lots of very promiscuous pigeons! Sending hugs and kisses to the TT gang for Valentines day :O)))xxxxx

Hi Annie ...
Thanks ..
Ooh ... looks like the stork will be bringing baby doves and baby pigeons to your garden ;o)
.. and I'm sure young Riley will get plenty of hugs on his first Valentines Day ! :o))) xxx

Those Doves are all fuffed up in their own fitted feather duvets TT. Very together birds. Been in our garden and might be snuggled in the big Magnolia next door, but I can't see them from my window. Beautiful feather colouring against that blue sky! Is it that lovely blue sky hovering just over your garden? Sent it over here please TT when you have finished with it. Not sure I want to encourage Mr Grumpy too much on......what day did you say?

Hi Junna ... Thank you ..
Lovely to hear from you :o))
I hope you and your family have a lovely Valentines Day. :o) x

Really lovely pictures of a romantic pair! We have lots of them around here, they can be heard cooing all the time! They are also very lovely birds to look at!

Where have you doggies got to lately? It seems a long time since we last saw a blog that they featured in!

Hi Balcony ... Thank you ..
Yes, I agree that the doves are attractive to watch.
I like to see them around my gardens.

Thanks for asking after my doggies... I promise they'll make a reappearance soon! Crocus budgie did feature in my previous 'Sing' blog. :o)

Milder weather due by Thursday, so your allotments and balcony will appreciate the warmer temps !

Lovely Blog Terra, very romantic :0)

Thanks Sue ...
Here's some extra hearts and kisses for you and Bikerbob ;o)

Lovely blog, TT, and Valentine Day is very special to me because my granddaughter was born on 14 Feb 19 years ago! I've just put up a blog showing her birthday cake :)
Hugs all round for everyone - hurrah :)

Hi Gee..
thanks, and special happy birthday and

xxx ❤ ♡ ❤ ♡ ❤ ♡ ❤ xxx
to your grand daughter :o)))

:-)
Happy Valentine's Day, Terra.

Happy Valentine's Day to you, Klahanie :o)

Fantastic pics Tt, so clear. We don't get doves in our garden anymore, I think the wood pigeons, which have been courting for weeks, must see them off. I must admit I would prefer the doves:-)

lovley pics, never seen doves that colour before but as you say, the sunlight does make a lot of difference. great shots

Thanks Ba ...
Hi Fran ... thank you
The winter sun was shining across to the silver birch ..
certainly made the doves' feathers look an unusual colour.
