TURTLE DOVE // STREPTOPELIA TURTUR (27cm)
DISTANT and poor light, but a real joy to see and capture this beauty in our corner of Kent. AN ATTRACTIVE well-marked species, the turtle dove has the same proportions of a collared dove but is appreciably smaller.. Seen at Grove Ferry near Thanet Kent, with its chest puffed out uttering a range of cooing calls.
JUST HAD TO POST, despite the poor quality, as it could be years before another chance comes my way.
========================
THANK YOU for your visit and friendship, hope you are all enjoying the sunshine, keep that smile on your face and love in your heart for everyone, God bless..............................Tomx
