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

Awww, beautiful shot of these cute little fellows! Wise to leave them alone, parents might get upset and leave their breed when people come too close; considered the short time you did a great job! Impressive work, Jeroen!
