Wildlife in motion #20: Cape Turtle Dove

[Callie]

We have one beautiful dove, the Green Pigeon, but most of our doves cannot compete with some of their overseas cousins.
The Cape Turtle Dove is sort of blah, but when in action and good light, I love it!
These are all from The Kgalagadi TFP

Nicely captured Callie,
Common but still beautiful,
We have many come to our bird feeder daily.

Thanks Gavin - Appreciate it.
We used to feed the birds for more than 25 years. But the doves become a nuisance! They tell their mates and one becomes 50 in a week!
They mess the paving too much. In the end, we gave up.

Very in good images in nice light.

Thank you Phil!

Thanks Charles. There are sometimes 1000's around the water holes in the morning and evenings.
