An interested sighting. Diamond Doves were reported (and photographed) over  several months in the second half of 2021 at Glendale Depot in Namadgi NP. The species was also reported near Yankee Hat car park in January 2022. As with the earlier reports, seen and photographed by multiple people. I would have to check eBird but I think that in at least one of those cases there was a pair.

Outside the ACT, Diamond Doves have also been turning up in places where they have not been seen for a fair while. Bimbi State Forest/Weddin Range springs to mind but eBird records other places as well. 

So Lyndon's Parkwood bird might be a wild bird not an aviary escapee .

Well yes, Clearly is a Diamond Dove (without the "). Chances are it is an
escaped aviary bird. They are a commonly kept species.

  "Diamond Dove" seen at Parkwood horse paddocks. Spent about an hour
following into trees and foraging on the ground, at times near horses.
