The Spotted Dove Nest

   In our school, we have a CCTV Camera monitoring the stage at the front of the school. For a while there, I had noticed that a Spotted Dove had been building a nest there, in the gap between the camera and the wall.Everyday, when we were outside, it kept building its nest, flying from the nearby trees to its nest with a stick or small twig and place it carefully in its tangled mass of already-existing twigs. Everyday, I would see as the nest got larger and larger. Eventually, I saw as the dove proceeded to sit on its nest full-time. It stayed there for a few days, when it finally flew or the first time from the nest to the netting on the sides of the school.

But today, when i went to school, there was something different awaiting me. The nest was gone and the area was clean. The school must have called someone to clear up the nest or to place it in one of the adjacent trees.I will miss seeing the dove sitting in its nest every morning.
