A rather tatty looking collared dove

The collared dove looks a bit tatty near his wing and I wondered whether he had been attacked by something and fortunately survived. I hope not! Anyway, he was standing on the roof of the bird table waiting his turn as his partner was already chomping away on the food.

Interesting capture Rosie lovely detail and colour as long as the wing is not broken I sure the feathers will recover and it will survive:)
