Collared Dove back in nest (1 Viewer)

[Dale5]

Hi all,

Went up my garden this morning, to find that Collared Dove is back in the nest. So they must be nesting again. o - They don't waste any time do they? :'D

The adult was just sitting in the nest, this has been 6 days since Baby dove fledged.
My family have spotted baby dove in the garden whilst I was at work, I not saw baby dove as yet, but noticed that the adult doves are together a lot more and keep venturing into the conifer trees. I can only assume that they are feeding Baby dove in there.
So it's looks like there are more little doves to come. o

Oh yes, I did a quick inspection on the Woodpecker nestbox yesterday, it appears that the hole is getting bigger, they been drilling the hole and the decaying log much more than before.
I not spotted them by the nestbox as yet. But hope they continue to make this their nesting home.
