Description
Thanks for viewing !! :o)

We have a pair of Collared Doves (Streptopeleia decaocto) nesting
about 12 inches from our garden door. Some time ago the eggs
hatched and i thought i should get a pic of the chicks. So i
waited for the mother to leave and quickly shot a few pics, heres
the best of em. Im not really that satisfied with it but i think
its best to leave em alone and not further disturb them.
The scientific name, Streptopeleia decaocto, literally means
a collar (streptos) dove (peleia). In Greek mythology, Decaocto
was an overworked, underpaid servant girl. The gods heard her
prayers for help and changed her into a dove so she could escape
her misery. The dove

A wonder of nature, so cozy and protected scene. You're right to leave them in peace. Only in Wintertime when it's cold one dove of this kind comes to gather some seed in our garden. Turtle Doves enough ;)

What a fantastic & unique capture. You are very lucky to have this so near to your house - I only hope the doves don't wake you up early in the morning with all their 'coo-cooing' !! Regards, Steve.
