Collared Dove
Collared Dove / streptopelia decaocto. Northumberland. 18/06/24.
With time to kill on a dull, dreary evening, I visited a small beach hoping to find and photograph Rock Pipits. It was an unsuccessful attempt although I was entertained by various birds who were scavenging for food along the strand line. This Collared Dove really surprised me when it dropped down ... not a species I associate with beaches!
