A little lunchtime googling turned up a couple of interesting articles on Alan the Red who brought the name Richmond to the English language: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2603983.ece http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-486221/1066-invader-Britains-wealthiest-man-history.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Le_Roux Birds of Sydney suggests Diamond Dove reached Sydney in the past (1897, 1942) but recent sightings are most likely aviary escapees. It is a species that you wonder if it could be another dry-inland invader of the city. Andrew |
