    Did you see "it" fly away? Looks a bit like a pumpkin to me too or a ball. :oops:

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    it may be orange because of the sun's angle on it ..... could it be a collared dove? difficult to tell without seeing the head :? :?

    Could it be a Jay Mel or even something more exotic like a Hoopoe ....although don't know where you live as they're only seen on the south coast in springtime?

    My 1st thought was a woodpigeon.........chest colour look about right.....and from whats visable, general shape looks like that to.

    Bigger............heck

    Was that photo taken anywhere near a Zoo or similar

    Is it some sort of 'exotic' escapee?? r030.gif

    I'd put my money on a 'Woodie'........well if I had any money anyway....

    Hi Del

    I got something like that (but much smaller) in my garden and it looked totally full of eggs.

    Lovely colour :D

    Hi Del,

    Tis odd that...... the only thing I wondered was could it have been a chicken or a bantam? Its the right size and colour but shape..... has it got a tail like a bird or not? My eyes can't work that bit out....sorry. Both chickens and Bantams can and do go up tress now and then.... Have you seen it since? Cris x
