When I first glanced at this I thought it was a woodpigeon, but then I looked a little closer. This is a first for the garden and it is a Stock Dove. It has a green patch on its neck (no white band like a woodpigeon and is a little smaller too) and a distinct black eye. I only managed to get this one shot of it before it flew.
