Last week we found the
Crested Pigeons’ nest in an evergreen shrub next to the driveway. We’ve
known they were breeding in the near vicinity for some 12 months. There were
two branchlings perched 50 cm away from it and an adult watching nearby. We can
clearly see the nest without parting the branches, nonetheless we keep
inspections to a minimum. The nest appeared remarkably thick, probably can
assume they’ve built on top of a previous nest. We’ve seen the
adults enter/leave the shrub several times during the past two days, so could
be breeding again.
