One of the highlights of the summer for us was having a Turtle dove on the farm for a few days. Farmer has seen one here before, and so has Prasad, but I hadn't ever seen one. Initially I wondered if I ever would as Farmer kept seeing it, and so did our guests, but then finally I saw him/her on the track just over the garden wall. What a special experience.
The calm warm weather changed and our exotic visitor moved on.
