19 July 2010. Last week there was a couple of Eurasian Collared Doves on my terrace. Now I stood on my terrace and this Eurasian Collared Dove (Turkse tortel / Streptopelia decaocto) landed. I was standing at 1.5 m distance and had to sneeze. The dove remained. I walked past him, went inside, brought out my camera and took some pictures at 50 cm distance. No rings, so it's for sure a wild one. Pretty dove :-)
