An Emerald Dove foraging on the ground!
An interesting dove named after its bright emerald green wings. This is common bird in the forests of India found much across the country from the South to the North. I had seen them several times whizzing past suddenly when we least expect it.
They are often seen in small pairs of 2-3 foraging on the ground searching for fallen fruit or other seeds. But then these birds are quite shy and prefer a quiet place rather than some place that is easily accessible. The temple area on the edge of a forest that we visit has a couple of these birds that can sighted throughout the year (depending on the luck though).
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
