Young Collared Dove on nest.


Young Collared Dove on nest.

I think this is the baby dove,there is no collar marking yet.For weeks I've been watching them fly in and out feeding and adding to the nest.It's situated high up in our Trachycarpus tree.

She's a little beauty. How tall is your tree? It looks huge. I have one in a pot that I've had for 18 months and I already had to pot it on this spring. It looks like it needs space in the garden. No cats will bother the nest with those sharp leaves defending it.
