Collared Dove  by beryl

Collared Dove

One of the pair that visit daily at the bird-table now the weather is getting colder.
Not feeling the brightness as I am still in continual pain with my big toe ,9 Hence my photography is suffering!!) I have been on a course of antibiotics for 7days, but no improvement - so I have another Dr's app next Monday. Meanwhile its putting up with the pain , and not being able to wear a shoe except for a open-toe sandal ( not very warm on these cooler days ) !!
He looks like he's saying 'wheres my food'
I hope you get your toe sorted soon

I love the way they fly around as pairs. Nice capture. Maybe you need different abx. Does it look infected?

The doves have you trained too I see. :) I hope the doctor finds a solution to improve your toe situation soon.

@carole_sandford The source of the matter seems to be the base of the nail! - red , bit swollen but not unduly hot! but a numb like niggly pain. ( and my feet are cold in sandals!! )

@beryl I bet they are. Hopefully when they see you on Monday they can give you some relief. I bet Monday seems a long way off at the moment though. If you are in a lot of pain, I would contact GP & say you need something before then x

Your birds are very lucky….all those houses to choose from & plenty of berries on hand. Sorry to read your toe is still sore, the antibiotic should be working by now. Another think about treatment I think.

So lovely

A beautiful bird canteen. Sorry to hear that your finger still hurts. If it's something near the nail, the pain may last a little longer. We then soak the feet in herbs.

Oh dear, hope your poor toe gets better soon.

a nice friendly dove. Good luck with the toe. Amazing how much they can hurt.

Lovely shot. I see bird feeders/houses in every corner. Means you get many birds visiting not like me, just once in a while.
October 19th, 2023  
Nice shot! If I was a bird, I would be delighted to visit your welcoming yard! So sorry you are suffering, hope your toe improves soon.

That's one pretty dove posing ever so nicely for you, Beryl, amid the green leaves and the red berries (and atop the bird-table) Fav (I sure hope your pain can be resolved quickly! x )
October 19th, 2023  
Oh, dear. I'm so sorry to hear your are in such pain, and no relief from the antibiotics they have prescribed. When you get into the doctor's office on Monday, I hope they can figure out what's going on and what will do the trick. In the meantime, you have managed to get a nice bird picture here. So kind of the dove to pose for you.
October 19th, 2023  
Ohhhhh...so sorry to hear about your aching toe and foot! I hope that heals up quickly. In the meantime- do your best and don't worry about the perfect shot. This one is quite nice!
