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.

ReplyDeleteI 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
