These doves have a blue-grey head, neck and upper breast, with a distinctive reddish-bronze patch on the hindneck, with dark barring. There is also a distinctive pinkish bar on the lower breast. The lower body is pale. They have a blue-grey eye-ring.

Yes Pansypotter - I often use the movie function on my camera to record the bird calls and the wallaby conversations that go on for my granddaughter. It would be great to be able to post them here too - it's fascinating stuff.
