) I saw a turtle dove on the phone wire as I drove passed. I stopped, U turned round, drove back, U turned and got th3 wife's Panasonic off the back seat.Turtle doves are very wary...probably due to being shot at! So my plan was to drive passed it again slowly, lean out of the window an let AFC do the rest. Well it moved further down the wire, so I drove further along...and it moved further along.
"what I need, Jan, is for you to steer the car while I lean out the window with both hands free and we will go faster so the dove doesn't feel threatened". Off we go. I got a sort or grab shot record. (Below) But when I reseated myself and taken back the wheel ....Jan had been faithfully steering us ....on the left hand side of the road.
Fortunately no Gendarmes, farmers or other road users about...or we wouldnt have done it. But I haven't seen a turtle dove for 25years...so worth being naughty for a few minutes.
