Observation details
Continuing Rare Bird found by Cos Wermeskerken two days ago. Thanks for Mel and Ilya for relocating it yesterday. Rich and I were walking north on Agar when we saw two birders focusing their binoculars and camera on something. Our thorough knowledge of birder body-language told us they must have the Turtle-Dove. Sure enough - as it flew across the street landed on a power wire and then into a thick conifer. I was able to see it and manage a few pictures. A darker dove then Eurasian Collared-Dove with colourful with orangish tinge and scaly pattern on scapulars and coverts and distinct reddish eye( see eye on both photos)
