Spotted Turtle-Dove in Canberra

["Philip Veerman" <>]

Yes it is still a uncommon species in Canberra though appears to be slowly getting established. It sort of depends on what the words "unusual" or for that matter "uncommon", actually means. Thankfully the Crested Pigeon established itself here first.

This morning as I was driving past the Coranderrk roundabout on Parkes Way I had a Spotted Turtle-dove (Spotted Dove) fly across the road and into dense foliage in Commonwealth Park.  The COG website suggests this is an unusual species for the ACT, is that still the case?

 

Cheers,
