Good morning/ Good night. Wherever you are, whatever you are ( line borrowed from Davincci). I have a few minutes before I have to be out the door 🚪 but thought I’d share this photo of a Japanese oriental turtle dove. I’m not sure about where you live but in Jamaica we had a similar species with slightly different features. The behavior however is the same.
The truth is, if it weren’t for the prickly looking buds in the tree I probably wouldn’t have taken this picture. ( not because it’s a common dove but it wasn’t in good range ). The tree seemed like a form of protection with its height and stems as well as the color which was similar to the doves. Bellow is a picture of the scene with no zoom.
