On the 23rd August at 8.30 am there was a cooing around the old nesting tree. Suddenly a bird flew to a tree nearer to me. It was one of the two fledglings, then 12 days old. One of the parents was nearby. Five minutes later both flew off. Was the fledgling cooing or was it the parent bird? Was this the younger fledgling? Had the older become independent? I have since not heard nor seen the doves around. It looks like goodbye…

    "You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world,
    but when you're finished,
    you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird...
    So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing - that's what counts.
    I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something."

    Nobel Laureate Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988)
