Update on spotted doves Valentina and the kids.

Mum and the (fledged) kids have definitely left the nest.

TO LET: Prime location, sheltered, solid foundations virtually storm proof with Westerly sunset views - food & water supplied (topped-up daily).

Empty nest!

But wait...as I left there was a flurry of wings and the little ones flew up onto the next-door garage roof. Are they just exploring will they be back?

ET was in the bedroom by herself sorting some jewellery - but not for long.
