    At first I thought Collared Doves, then Wood Pigeons..., but not enough detail to see in that photo.

    The nearest bird seems to have a black eye, rather like a baby Mourning Dove, but I cannot see the 'dark dots on their heads' clearly in the photo.

    Would be interesting to Identify them positively. (I've never seen 3 baby Doves/Pigeons together at any one time.... so I'm stumped!)

    No. Not that close and still no mother. Saw their first try to fly this morning so soon they can find a way to water.

    If they're still alive they will have one or other parent attending Chris.

    I hope they manage OK. Would you disturb them if you placed a dish of water nearby?

    They are rather shy. They have water as it rain every now and then. I think they will fly away soon as they tested flying (low) yesterday
    I will keep an eye open for them. Sorry that I did now have a better camera, this is the phone
