Collard Dove

In the summer I saw quite a number of large flocks of Collard Dove. In fact I came close to running a few over as they ambled along in the road, almost oblivious to the danger coming towards them.
These pictures, taken at Pennington Flash show one at more sedate times, having a drink.

    Collard doves are a species I see quite often in and around our farm. Very nice captures of these doves.

    A lovely moment to capture! Haven't seen more than a couple of collared doves here, but I keep looking. Have lots of mourning and white-winged in my yard.
