The Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) is a species of bird in the dove family (Columbidae). It gets its name because the species has only since the 1930s immigrated from the southeast to the middle and now also to northern and western Europe.
Collared Dove is now a familiar bird, occupying a range of open lowland habitats, but only began its colonisation of Britain in the 1950s.
Given favourable weather conditions, Collared Doves may nest in any month of the year. Despite the very small number of eggs laid for each nesting attempt, which is invariably two, multiple nesting attempts may be one reason why the species has been so successful.
Despite the dramatic long-term increase in numbers and range, a decline in Collared Dove populations was noted from 2005 onwards, and likely linked to the emergence and spread of finch trichomonosis.
The Black-collared Hawk is a denizen of most fresh or brackish water habitats in tropical and subtropical Central and South America, occurring from central Mexico south to Uruguay. Typically Black-collared Hawks perch above shallow pools or marshes and drop onto prey, which most often are fish; as in the Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), the undersides of the toes of this hawk have spines to aid in grabbing fish. Other prey includes lizards or rodents. Named for its black bib, the Black-collared Hawk most easily is identified by its rufous plumage and very short tail. This species can be quite common in appropriate habitat, like in this photo, at Pantanal, but is patchily distributed and local over much of Amazonia.

When I was a youth I recall they were quite scarce but the Eurasian Collared Dove is now a common sight in our gardens and in rural villages. They seem to be often overlooked but are really attractive and delicate birds.

The Collared Sunbird (Hedydipna collaris) is a tiny yet dazzling jewel of Africa’s forests, woodlands, and gardens. Males are particularly striking, with their metallic green upperparts, vivid yellow underparts, and a distinctive narrow red breast band that gives the species its name, while females display more subdued olive and yellow tones. Despite their small size, these energetic birds are constantly on the move, flitting among flowers in search of nectar and supplementing their diet with insects and spiders.
An important pollinator within its habitat, the Collared Sunbird uses its slender, curved bill and brush-tipped tongue to feed from a variety of flowering plants. Its vibrant colours, lively behaviour, and remarkable agility make it a favourite among birdwatchers and photographers, offering fleeting but rewarding glimpses of one of Africa’s smallest and most beautiful avian species.

The black-collared hawk (Busarellus nigricollis) is a species of bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. It is monotypic within the genus Busarellus. It has a widespread range of presence, from western Mexico to Uruguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical swamps, and swamps. This one was photographed at Pantanal, MT, Brazil.

The Eurasian Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) is a highly adaptable, medium-sized bird known for its rapid global expansion. Originally native to warmer regions of Asia, it has become a common sight in urban, suburban, and agricultural areas across Europe and North America.
Key Identification Features
Appearance:
They have a plump, sandy-gray or buff-colored body with a distinctive black half-collar on the nape of the neck.
Distinctive Tail:
Unlike the pointed tail of a Mourning Dove, the Eurasian collared dove has a broad, squared-off tail with large white patches at the corners.
Eyes and Bill:
Adults possess striking dark red eyes and a thin black bill.
Vocalizations:
Their primary call is a rhythmic, three-syllable coo (koo-KOO-kook) with the middle syllable emphasized. They also emit a harsh, nasal screeching sound just before landing.
Behavior and Diet
Diet:
These birds are primarily granivores, feeding on seeds, grains, and cereal crops, though they occasionally eat berries and small insects. They are frequent visitors to backyard bird feeders, where they often forage on the ground.
Territoriality:
They can be aggressive competitors at feeding stations, often chasing away smaller birds or native species like the Mourning Dove.
Flight Display:
Males perform a ritualized mating flight, flying nearly vertically before gliding down in a spiral with fanned tails.
Breeding and Life Cycle
Rapid Reproduction:
A monogamous pair can raise up to six broods per year in warmer climates.
Nesting:
They build simple, often flimsy platform nests made of twigs in trees, on buildings, or even on man-made structures like satellite dishes.
Parental Care:
Both parents share incubation duties and feed their young "crop milk," a nutrient-rich fluid secreted from their esophagus.
Global Colonization
The species is famous in ornithology for its "leapfrog" colonization style—new populations often spring up hundreds of miles away and eventually "backfill" the space in between. After being introduced to the Bahamas in the 1970s, they reached Florida by the 1980s and have since spread across most of the continental United States and into Canada.

One of the reasons I have the utmost respect for these aggressive birds, is their ability to throw themselves into a treeline in hot pursuit.
This is a pair at play, you can spot the wing of the other disappearing behind the leaves.
