Collared Doves are much smaller than the pigeons, with a longer, narrower tail and pinky-buff plumage. They are easily told from Turtle Doves by their plain upperparts and neat black line around the back neck.
These shots were taken near the ground behind the Salisbury Cathedral. It was a cloudy evening when I saw a couple of these birds perched on a branch. While i was attemping a low lisht shot the clound cover cleared and the bird was brilliantly lit- Typical English weather.
The bird is most graceful in flight. Yet to get a good flight shot.
