2 January 2026

Spotted dove or eastern spotted dove (Spilopelia chinensis) chicks hatch from one or two glossy white eggs after about 13-16 days of incubation by both parents on a nest made of twigs, grasses, and roots. They emerge as helpless, downy nestlings and are blind, fed with "crop milk" by their parents until they fledge around two weeks later. They stay near their parents for another week or two for feeding. At four days old, they are still very young and entirely dependent on their parents for warmth and food. They are small and fragile, with eyes likely still closed or just beginning to open. They do not yet have their distinctive spotted neck pattern or adult feathers; those develop as they mature. A Spotted dove builds a nest and lays eggs, hatching its young next to a broom made of coconut fronds by a house in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 12, 2025.

Security is on high alert across the Kashmir Valley and along the international border with Pakistan following a deadly explosion near the historic Red Fort in Old Delhi, which kills at least twelve people. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on November 11, calls a deadly car explosion near the historic Red Fort in the heart of the capital that kills at least twelve people a ''conspiracy,'' vowing those responsible face justice. India's government confirms on November 12 that it treats a car blast that kills twelve people and wounds at least 20 others in Delhi as a ''terror incident'' and vows to bring the perpetrators to justice as swiftly as possible. Meanwhile, India's anti-terrorism agency says on Thursday it arrests four more people, including three doctors, in connection with last week's deadly car blast in Delhi, the first such attack in the heavily-guarded capital in more than a decade.
