Frosted view

I posted the picture below yesterday after I discovered a dove was nesting on our balcony (well, in an opening in the big wall enclosing it). Last night we went to the park behind our house (my longest walk yet since breaking my toe!) to get a better view, but the dove was gone, although it had tidied up all the grass hanging down. This morning she was back, but flew away when I opened the barred gate for a closer look. So, this is what I can see of the nest: not much!
