| Oriental Turtle Dove (Yokohama) - Japan 2017 |
Very pretty. It was on the ground in front of us as we were walking away from our residence. It kept its distance, finally hopping up on a concrete fence and posing for this shot taken with a Canon G5X.
"In 1994, the British Birds Rarities Committee reviewed the
British records of this species and concluded that three of the eight accepted
records should no longer stand. The Oriental turtle dove has occurred a number
of times since, including a well-watched bird in Oxfordshire in February 2011,
which was found in a birdwatcher's garden. The house owner used the opportunity
to charge a £5 fee to view the bird from his kitchen window and up to 500 people
queued to see the bird."
