I saw the Diamond Dove at 1:40pm this afternoon at the same location as the others (thanks for the clarification, Jack!) I saw it on the track where it starts to turn north; I froze and it ran several metres further up the track, but fortunately didn't flush. It eventually settled down under a clump of paspalum, and I had excellent views of
this exquisite little bird.

Philip: I wondered about escapees too. There were cockatiels and lorikeets calling from a house across the road from the carpark. However, the plumage on the dove
looked fine to me.
