Solved Can you identify these birds.

Took these photos in my garden this morning. Can anyone confirm that the first image is young pigeons and the second a female Sparrowhawk?
I apologise for the quality but they were taken with my mobile (the first through glass) and heavily magnified.

 

1. Collared doves..... Streptopelia decaocto.

Streptopelia decaocto) - Recherche Google

 

I have them here but not sure where they live ... noisy little buggars at times calling to each other.

 

Yes, collared Doves and a sparrowhawk. Graceful birds. We had a sparrowhawk in the back garden last year, unfortunately we also had a stray cat

 

Thanks. Both birds are a delight to see. Our regular visitors to the feeder are pigeons, starlings, magpies. sparrows, a robin, blue tits and the occasional jackdaw though today we had a crow feeding from the wee house.

 

Years ago a featherless, bald, naked baby bird fell from a nest on to a busy pavement ..a friend saved it and gave it to us to hand rear.
Once the feathers grew we found it was a beautiful collared dove.
The colours are subtle and exquisite.
We even took it with us in the car to visit friend 150 miles away on 2 separate weekends.
It traveled on our shoulder in the car.
At home when we mowed the grass it would stand on my head.
It came when we called it.
It was free to fly away when ever it wanted,but chose to stay with us for ages.
I loved that bird...we called it Mercury.
Sadly we think a sparrow hawk killed it.

 

On renovating a roof we found a nest of (feral) pigeons and carefully put the nest on the ground whilst working.

A hedgehog got the youngest chick, so we had to take the two young punks indoors to avoid further bloodshed. The Punks had baby feathers and shocking green crowns and readily fed on biscuit crumbles mashed into milk and pushed down their beaks.

Very soon the pair earned their names, "Idiot" and "Imbecile", as they proved to be the stupidest ever living things on earth. They happily walked around and into the corridor, but found the corridor scary and yelled until they were lifted back and then wandered back into the corridor, yelled, got lifted back... repeat.

They also formed a habit of falling off the table, apparently pigeons do not recognise where a surface ends.

We took them out in the woods daily, but the chicks preferred to sit on our shoulders rather than returning to the wilds. I got some looks when taking the tram with a pigeon on my shoulder and another one in my breast pocket
