Yes. I had a wander around yesterday..Quite taken aback by how sad I am about it!
Actually I really do know how your feeling. There have been a pair of Swans here on the pond/river for several years now and I have gotten to know them very well and they trusted me. Mr Swan used to come over and sit by me and he'd rub his head on my legs. She was not so brave but I could feed her from my hand, him too. Anyway she died last summer and it hit me really hard, Mr Swan left and I waited all the rest of the year for him to return but he only came back a few days ago, he has a new mate with him she's a lot smaller and younger (i think) than him, so I doubt there will be cygnets this year. Anyway I was really chuffed to see them and he came to me right away but the new one WOW she's a hissy wee madam lol. I'm going to have my work cut out getting her to trust me.
I really hope your dove comes back to you, so stupid the attachments we form with wild creatures..
