The Common Wood Pigeon is an open nester that builds a remarkably simple nest.
Location: a flimsy platform of twigs in a tree, hedge or bush.
Construction: the nest is so sparse that the eggs can sometimes be glimpsed from below; both sexes build.
Young: usually 2 white eggs, and the young are fed on nutritious crop milk produced by both parents — which is why the Wood Pigeon can breed well into autumn.
