Dora Dove laid an egg

[Catherine]

The egg has dried out and cracked so it wasn't developing. It was their first effort and they did very well. It is out of the nest so she knows it has failed.

I just got a proper nest for her so I have set it up near the nest she was using. It is bigger and a better shape and it will be more comfortable for her. She is looking at it so I think she will try again and this time it will be better. They have figured out how to sit on the egg and spell each other off so the nest stays warm.

I will keep you posted about Dora's egg laying.
