A young friend of mine, Rachel, found a pigeon's nest in the honeysuckle in my garden on
the 25th June 2000.
As Rachel is only an occasional visitor, I recorded the progress of the young pigeons and
now place this record here on my website for her benefit.

The pictures were taken at four day intervals.
They didn't seem to mind me taking photographs. |
 |
Impossible to tell how many and even though they
look furry they were, in fact, very bald! |
|
Four days later - with feathers
Were there more than two? |
 |
My goodness, that was quick - what are they being fed
on?
There are just the two it seems. |
 |
Growing up fast! |
|
Soon be gone . . . |
|
Gone from the nest, but not yet independent. |
|
Sitting on the trellis in front of the
honeysuckle. |
|
Feeding time. |
This is Mum on guard in front of the plum tree
where they are hiding - or is she just taking a rest?
|
Today is the 24th July, and the young pigeons are still
in the garden, cuddled together, still being fed but getting taller and thinner every day.
