stealthy1 3,964 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Bit cold for breeding, the eggs or chicks will chill to death in the weather we have at the minute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stealthy1 3,964 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Some times cock Wood Pigeons build a roost next to a nest, might just be a warmer way to roost. Unless you can get pix of the eggs too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
