Baby Robins



The robins are raising their second brood on the nesting shelf in our back porch. Three eggs hatched just yesterday. I heard the hatchlings peeping while I was taking out the compost. This morning while Jeanette was making the pancakes I climbed up the ladder and did a quick sketch of one of them, while the very distraught mother called out her alarm.

That is so adorable, we have a mother dove that comes every year to our front verandah. She builds on the nest each year and now it is quite large! Last season she had two broods of chicks - quite a productive little dove!
