Happy (Streptopelia senegalensis)

Another new species for me on our return.

These Laughing Doves are one of two species which have been introduced to Australia; this one confined to Western Australia. It also completes a page in my guide book, so a bit of a milestone, all 6 of them!!!

Rather pretty birds, aren't they.

Matching book-ends and so beautifully captured D.

Do they actually sound as though they are laughing? I'll have to do some searching ;)
