Although ive not seen it for a bit, so might have given up on the idea?

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Looks familiar

We had a pair of collared doves nearby, using the trees at the front of the house for three years and as soon as the first wind arrived their nest would fall apart, sometimes with a couple of eggs.

Well, being where the nest is, you can't blame signal fade on the birds :D

Sorry about the quality, the picture is taken from behind a window.
I thought it was a Wood pigeon, but im told its a collared dove?
Anyway, he or she doesnt appreciate me sticking my face against the glass lol
So a camera would be a good idea.

Yep likewise, softest, warmest and most comfortable mattress I have ever had, wife hates it cos her thermostats gone to pot and she retires to the loft so I get my 8 hours beauty sleep now instead of waking up to radio 4 blaring out at 3am in the morning and the light going on so she can read every five minutes.
