Wood Pigeon / Golub dupljaš

Description:

The Wood Pigeon may be readily distinguished by the white on its neck (in adults) and wings. The short, deep, "grunting" Ooo-uu-ooh call is quite distinct from the modulated cooing notes of the Wood Pigeon; it is loud enough to be described, somewhat fancifully, as "roaring".

Habitat:

It is lesser gray plumage pigeon in Europe. It is also, the rarest of the wild European pigeons. It is a tree hole nesting species which is in sharp decline, from habitat loss combined with hunting pressure.

Notes:

Other names: Stock Dove
