Dove's life

I found a dov'es nest on a tree right in front of my porch so I put the camera in timelapse mode (CHDK) and started shooting. I have no projector to have enogh light or nightvision and I'm using a 200mm zoom so I hope that the 2 eggs don't hatch during the night :)
shooting starts at about 8:00Am each day and finishes at about 5:30PM, a frame each 10 seconds.the camera is in Aperature mode in spot measureing to minimize the lighting difference. from the results I've noticed that the hole palm tree the dove resides on moves in a "breathing" motion, each day it rizes a bit and I guess each night it lowers. in day 2 i've noticed there's a branch that really doesn't help the view so I've cut it. in day 6 we had strong winds that shook the tripod a bit but it still runs! :)
started shooting: 03/03/2011, the first 6 days look like this (HD) :
1 day = 1 minute:

1 day = 20 seconds:


I'll keep an update each week.
