Field Notes

Notes:

This bird was on the fence in my grandfather's garden - the second shot shows it 'facing off' with a Rainbow Lorikeet. (The lorikeet won, of course - the dove took off.) I'm not 100% certain on the ID - the spots around the collar are very faint. It might be a young bird, or I could be wrong.

This bird's plumage and colour match with following race find in East Asia. But spots on neck are very less... http://orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?Bird_ID=686
