doves
During
my recent stay in Perth
I saw plenty of feral doves, both the laughing and spotted variety.
However, occasionally I saw one as attached, and it does not fit the
description in my bird book for either species. I am sure one of COGs
members can help me out. The spotting on the front of the neck is the
puzzling bit. Many thanks.
