人気の多い場所に巣作りする鳥

9月17日(水)快晴

トリニティー・ビーチは野鳥が多い。僕たちのリビングのテラスにも朝夕ツバメがやって来て巣作りに適した場所を探している様子。僕の書斎のテラスの日除けの庇の片隅にチョウショウバトが巣を作り2羽の小鳩が孵っています。ウズラくらい小さな熱帯系の山鳩です。鳴き声はきれいだけど獰猛なインドハッカが小鳩を狙っているので巣立ちまで僕も気を許せません。

The bird that builds a nest near house
Wed.September 17 : fine

There are a lot of wild birds on Trinity Beach. Some swallows come to our terrace to find a propter place to make their nest in the morning and evening. The couple of peaceful doves had built a nest in the corner of the eaves of my study and 2 babies have been hatched. They are small tropical doves and are about the same size as quails. They are beautiful singers but some savage common mynas are targeting the baby doves so I have to beware of them until they fledge.
