This fellow was on the run, barely staying still long enough to get a pic. I love these birds, and see far too few these days. This was taken in a friends back yard at Mt. Cotton. Yes, he does feed the birds, has been doing so for many years.
One is showing the colour in the flight feathers of the wing. Lastly, some other visitors sharing the dish on the same day.
These are some great photos, love them.Never seen one of those doves, thanks.

Thank you M-L. I was trying to find their call here, but found a page on the web that plays it. I don't know if the link will work, but will give it a go. I love these doves, but find them a bit on the shy side.
