Great shot!
Thanks StevenSpragg!
What a cool picture. Over in Australia they are an introduced species. Good to see then in their natural habitat
Thanks LauraMaria! I waited for the dove to fly off to take a pic of the underwings; I was mildly upset when I just "clipped" the left wing...
I love that first picture, amazing! What a beautiful dove :)
