Turtle Dove Streptopelia turtur
|
This shy and watchful dove has given me the slip several times.It comes here every summer, but winters in tropical Africa.Too distant to get very clear shots, so these are the best I could do.

nice to get some photos of a shy bird; I love the dove family, they never seem to show any malice...Carole
great dove
You're right there, timid and shy. Beautiful images.
what a pretty thing! laughed at the 'duck behind' move.
I have never seen a photo of the turtle dove. Such a striking bird!
Very beautiful images. Preciosa tòrtola en el àrbol.
Feliz verano, amiga!
Kisses!
very pretty bird, I hope you were singing 'On wngs of a Dove ' while shooting the film. love Sue
You are so lucky to see this beauty. Turtle dove is now a rarity in my County .. just one sighting this year but not by me!
It really was trying to hide!
Beautiful bird. Do they make nests as clumsy as our California doves do?
They are such a peaceful lovely looking bird.
Hi! Your turtle dove is quite different from the typical one I can see here (haha, appeared many times in my blog) and the second picture gave me a smile with its hiding pose♡♡♡ Thanks to blogging, I now can enjoy seeing or knowing rare or never would have known animals☆☆☆ Wonderful that they migrate to your country during warmer season.
ps. I was so surprised that the owner of the flower shop keeps the little window open for the parents of baby swallows(*^_^*) And so sorry for my bit late commenting, my dear new friend in Portugal♪
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

I heard one last year but I have never seen one in my 77 years. Well done.
Jeszcze nie mam fotki tego ptaszaka:)
Nice bird to photograph, very similar to our Oriental version..........
Nice.

You're lucky, because here in Spain there are fewer, among hunters, pesticides and other factors, the population of doves much diminished. Going from common to rare ...
Good catch and decked your blog;))
A hug (my new blog - http://www.baeticus.blogspot.com.es/)
Awwwwww, sweet, sweet photography!!! I love every ONE of these images.
How lucky you were to catch sight of these beautiful doves! It's always fun to view photographs of birds I have never seen before. Love the pretty color pattern on the neck and red eyes. Beautiful images!
