Correctly called the Eurasian Collared Dove ( Streptopelia decaocto) this bird was perched by the feeders checking it was safe to go down to the ground to feed.
Nice shot. Unfortunately this is the main prey for our big black cat. He kills 'em, brings 'em indoors through the cat flap and disembowels 'em horribly throughout the house (if we have forgotten to close the door between his room and the rest of the building!)
