I'm watching!  by ingrid01

I'm watching!

Before I started to prepare dinner, I checked on the nest. A parent was still sitting on the nest, but the second (and last) egg was visible. A little later I saw through the window the second parent arrive and went out to have a look... The egg was gone and there were 2 nesting now! The other parent was sitting about a meter away and watching them. I had them both in the same photo, but cropped it a bit and cut a little out where the grey line was, otherwise the picture was not very interesting and just a lot of leaves...
A little later the first parent (I'm not sure if it is mom or dad) was on the nest and the nestlings were not visible any more.
I'm loving the updates on this little family. Clever idea to split the photo too.

How lovely to be able to follow their progress. I can see at least 4 babies. By that way that must be a lemon tree.

@sangwann Hi Dione. Thank you for your comments. It is great fun following the birds. I also Googled a lot. They are Laughing Doves and they normally have 2 eggs/babies. Also here, although it looks like there are more because the first is already a little bigger. In the coming days I hope to get a clearer picture of them.
And it is actually a lime tree. I have been making lemonade daily!
