Oriental Turtle Dove (Streptopelia orientalis)

This lifer was very rare here in Finland. People all over from Finland will go to see this bird. When I and my friend were going to see this bird, we didn`t know is this European Turtle Dove or this rare Oriental Turtle Dove. We were very happy, when we noticed that it is Oriental Turtle Dove.
