Probable Fruit Pigeon at Taggerty, Vic.

[Ian May <>]

Hi Greg

Yes, White-headed Pigeon was a possibility that I considered being aware 
there have been recent records of them in Vic but the sound was not 
consistent with published descriptions and this was not a particularly 
robust call.  There was no booming or variation to "Coo Coo" however I 
am not familiar with the call of the WHP so can't rule it out.   The 
purpose of my message was really to alert others that at present, there 
is something worth searching for as they drive past Taggerty.

Regards

Ian
