This Spotted Turtle-Dove makes an occasional visit to my garden at home in Pickering Brook.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a Peaceful photographed at Point Samson 2nd June 2006.                     Two of the same showing how they got their name.

 

The Dove at right is a Diamond Dove photographed at Wickham on the same day.

 

 

 

This pigeon is a Bar-shouldered dove.  I have no idea why it is called that or how common it is.   All I know is that this bird presented itself outside my motel window while I was in Broome (the North coast of Western Australia).

 

 

 

This tasty looking bird is a Bronzewing Pigeon.  There are plenty around this area.

 

 

 

 

At left is a pair of Crested Pigeons at Point Samson on 28 May 2006 and five days later I found this Spinifex Pigeon at Cossack
