A survey last year found three of the world's top 10 most expensive homes on the market were in London. At the top of the list was the six-storey Grade 1 listed Regency mansion in Carlton House Terrace (below), just a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace, which went on the market for Â£250m.
In the Midwest, the mourning dove reproductive cycle begins with egg laying in late April/early May, and continues until fledging ends in early September. Doves build scant nests of twigs and grass within trees or shrubs 10 to 30 feet above ground. In wooded areas, elms and maples are preferred.
A mother songbird usually lays eggs just prior to or just after sunup, but not all at once. A wren may lay one egg every 24 hours, a dove one egg every two days. The mother eventually will lay a clutch of three or four eggs, sometimes more and sometimes fewer. University of Cambridge researchers discovered a few years ago that mother birds begin communicating with their chicks even before they hatch.
