home baked pizza, salads and beers

The stock dove squabs in our garage gable nest box are close to fledging. Podgy little things.

We watch through the camera as they wrestle with their parents, long bills down into the crops of the adult birds, filling up on nourishing crop milk.

Just time to put rings on their legs before they go out

into the world.

And when that job was done, a chance to sit out and relax with too much home baked pizza, salads and beers.
