Pigeons and Doves at Middle Path
Emerald Dove ~ Chalcophaps indica |
|
A single Emerald Dove calmly surveys the scene - an infrequent visitor more at home in the forest. |
This plump visitor would frequently contest the back porch with us - sidling up to our feet and battering at them with its wing.
Able to utter a high-pitched "beep-beep-beep" sound interminably, it had us searching the area for a reversing delivery van before we realised what was making the noise. |
|
Wonga Pigeon ~ Leucosarcia melanoleuca |
White-headed Pigeon ~ Columba leucomela |
|
A frequent flyer of the afternoon feeding pageant, the White-headed pigeons always create a great presence and, at times, fiercely dispute the other species pecking orders. |
These common bronzewings are a regular visitor and are gentle enough to feed side by side with the firetails without alarming them. |

A Bronzewing Pigeon ~ Phaps chalcoptera |
Brown Cuckoo Dove ~ Macropygia amboinensis |

A late afternoon shot of a Brown Cuckoo Dove seems to have captured the ethereal glow of a Middle Path evening |

A common visitor, a crested pigeon - Ocyphaps lophotes - enjoying an early version of the bird feeders while keeping a wary eye on the camera. |
A rare glimpse of the crested pigeon factory in full swing - apparently to the amazement of a rival! |
