I am the few of the fortunate who occasionally get to see few birds of different variety around my house in Bangalore. I have captured few of them in my camera and here they are. One such beautiful bird is Spotted Dove.
This bird is a small and somewhat long-tailed pigeon.It is buff brown in color with a white-spotted black collar patch on the back and sides of the neck. The tail tips are white and the wings have light buff spots.
They are found in light forests and gardens as well as in urban areas. They move around in pairs and they feed on seeds, grains, fallen fruits and seeds of other plants.

This Dove looks beautiful because of the spots. They are not much scared of humans. Good capture.

Lucky indeed. Great captures.

A lovely dove -- I always enjoy them and yours is so beautifully colored.
Very pretty and great shots!
Thats a splendid looking bird - we have a very similar bird here, but it does not have the spots on the body.

These doves are beautiful and they are used to humans
Indeed a lovely bird
I think of the doves as a very nice omen to have nearby in the garden; they seem so inoffensive and complacent and not out to harm anything, and peaceful for all that
That is such a nice dove to get in your garden. From Findlay

These are beautiful... which part of Bangalore do you live in? I have never come across them at such close distance before...
Thats lovely :). It is quite rare to spot a spotted dove. And that too finding them in Bangalore is quite a blessing indeed. Nice captures :)
