In the backyard

This was about two months ago when I noticed a nest made of sticks in our small macadamia tree. The next day I found out that it belong to a spotted dove. The nest was not that high. I wondered if our cat had really noticed it because sometimes I saw her taking a nap under the tree where the nest was.Here is a photo of mummy and daddy bird, sharing incubation duties.

Well, during my next visit after a few weeks, I found out that the nest was empty except for broken egg shells.

Hope it hatches the chicks well and they are safe. Nice shots... and i too spotted the spotted doves lately while traveling.
