Partially leucistic woodpigeon

The spadgers are busy in the garden, which is great news for the roses. The tailless collared dove has a nearly full set of tail feathers now and is loudly advertising his availability for amorous adventures.The woodpigeons are busy, too: I suspect they're nest-building in the conifer at the bottom of the garden and there's been a lot of billing and cooing going on. The partially leucistic individual is a bit Billy No Mates but he's still game, much to the disgust of the partners of the birds he tries to woo. He really is an odd patchwork quilt of a bird.
