The Dove Show
I'm not sure if this was a love dance or a fight dance.... or both lol.
It was rough and noisy what ever they were doing.

Great action shots Dave, looks like you managed to get a good shutter speed on these.

Thanks Ken. They were at it for about a minute, so I had a little time to experiment.

No 3 and 4 have really captured their movements so well, I'd of thought it was the wrong time of year for mating, but I'm probably wrong, Laura will most likely know though.
Fighting or mating, they look graceful
3 is my fave x

I'm not sure now, seeing that video, look like doves in my garden when they are feeling in the mood for lurve
Who knows, hopefully someone will be along to tell you if you have lovers or fighters
PS, like how your tortoise has hidden himself away .

Brilliant action shots, i agree with the other you certainly got the setting right for these, i like all of them
It could be a little of both fighting, mating, these doves can be seen nesting throughout a mild winter,
