The other morning (around 6am) I was lying in bed thinking YES!! I get to have a bit more sleep after being up with the little ones throughout the night until I heard TAP TAP TAP on my sliding door. This was the culprit

Brown Cuckoo-Dove
Well look at that. I never knew there was a Brown Cuckoo-Dove! How interesting. Thanks for taking the effort to take a few pics even though you deserved a good sleep-in. We have a Crested Pidgeon that does the same on our kitchen window. Funny things aint they :)
treat him well jfiess as becasue of the colouring I believe that is a juvenile bird
Peter
Hi Bromo, thanks
yes they are funny things
I think you may be right Peter. I think the reason he pecks at the glass is beacuse our windows are double glazed and he can see his reflection in there....the other day he was calling to it
Beautiful photos Jackie, I would like to have one at my place, but I'd like to have double glazed windows even more.

Lovley shots Jackie, must day i wouldnt mind being woken up by such a lovely thing. Would be nice if he hangs around.
Wow Jackie, I have seen a few of these and your shots are just beautiful! How lovely to have him peck at your window you are very lucky indeed.
never realised how pretty their eyes were before ...that is becasue my shots have never been that close !

It is great to see the beautiful detail in these pictures. I've only ever seen one of these birds and he was too far away for decent pics. Wish one would come and visit me.
