Collared Dove Chick

This chick is in the nest I blipped here. The adults are leaving the chick alone more and more at the moment so I took the opportunity to nip in and get a couple of captures while they were away. There are usually two eggs which are incubated by both adults for about two weeks, and the chicks fledge after three weeks. I could only see one chick but I didn't want to disturb it so there may be another chick which I could not see. The chick hatched just over a week ago and still has some way to go in the glamour stakes ;)
