After successfully raising two chicks ("Woodito" and "Woodone" - We had to help Woodito out a little because he was the runt of the litter and managed to fall from the nest before he was quite ready to fly, but he's doing just fine now and was even smart enough to trust my husband, who had been feeding him, but no other humans ... including me :D) and then getting into some pretty spectacular (and noisy!) fights to defend their nesting territory, the wood pigeons are now busy building a new nest in the tree in front of our kitchen window. This time, however, they are building it in a more sheltered part of the tree, where we won't be able to follow the developments quite as easily. :(

A wood pigeon surveys the neighbourhood from the top of a tree that was ravaged by a freak tornado a few years ago. I don't know if they already have eggs, but normally they do this when they are worried about marauding magpies.
