Title: Unknown bird at MPNR?
Post by Neil on Dec 13^th, 2005, 8:37pm

When I first saw this bird flash into the grass at Pond 20 I thought it might be a rail but when I saw it fly again later it looked more like a dove. Could it be an Oriental Turtle Dove? Neil.

Yes it is Oriental Turtle Dove - note "turtle-dove" wing patterning, grey rump and lower back and complete white terminal tail band.
