There are two baby doves sitting in this nest which is in our neighbours trees! They were extremely well hidden until William thinned the trees out as they are ones in the garden that are trained into flat circles etc. Mummy dove was very attentive sat on her babies until they were quite large and fluffy. After that she sat on top of the chimney to observe them for afar. In this last week they have moved out of their over-crowded accommodation onto the branches and are making short experimental flights into our garden!! They are lovely plump young birds now and we expect them to fly further away any day now! But it would be lovely to see them sitting in our tree next year, and even making another nest or two with babies of their own, aah!!!!
