Hello world !!!
I'm back after a short and sweet break .....
Yes , really sweet since festivities were on and a wedding at home .
Lots of chaos, fun and frolic with family and friends .
Since the last post was on a dove I decide to carry on with it ...
The cooing community is not much in evidence in the hills .The commonest dove of the Himalayan hill stations is the ''Oriental Turtle Dove ''.
Oriental turtle dove has a very distinct scaled plumage and a conspicuous patch of black and white feathers which makes its identification easy .Chest and belly is pink to rufous and the wing feathers have black centers with chestnut edges lending it a beautiful scalloped pattern . I just got a glimpse of this beautiful dove and within a fraction of a second it was gone ....If you are a passionate about birding you will never
stop feeling the happiness at the sight of a bird you haven't seen before.
Happy Birding ....
