The day I discovered the pigeon eggs. Guess they were laid a couple of days earlier.
ArunGopalan:
I scared away the mom!
ArunGopalan:
But after a while (I presume) shot got used to my camera and me! Here she is sitting on the eggs inspite of me being hardly a few feet away!
ArunGopalan:
She continues to stand her ground!
ArunGopalan:
Day 2 | A cautious look!
ArunGopalan:
I get a glimpse of the eggs on day 2 (I presume the eggs are now about 4 days old)
ArunGopalan:
And I spot the mother, a few feet away. She keeps an eye on me!
ArunGopalan:
Day 4 | Mamma pigeon's just a few feet away from the nest. And pappa pigeon is away as well. Wondering how she left the eggs unattended like this. First time parents maybe!
ArunGopalan:
But then as soon as I tried getting a close photograph of the eggs, she arrived!
ArunGopalan:
Mother pigeon sitting over the eggs.
