Baby Birds...

I have been watching a nest in my garden for the last month-ish and over the last few days they hatched

Only your common Streptopelia decaocto Collared Dove but pretty brave nesting a couple of feet away from rampaging under 5yr olds

I have so many nests this year (3 that I am sure of) but the foliage is that thick I only ever see the smaller birds diving in and out.

 

Oh how cute and lucky you being able to sneak up for those wonderful close-ups.

No doubt the parents also grew up with kids racing around and think it is normal.

 

They are beautiful.
I hope they survive , I really do.
We had a nest like that last year and a cat killed all the babies.

 

Better Collared Doves than no birds at all, we have no nests but there again we haven't much of a garden! Great pics BM.:thumb:
