    Peaceful Dove

    In Adelaide you see the occasional pair. In Cairns there are large flocks of them everywhere.

    I don't think I've shown you a Peaceful Dove at Bowra before. However here's one showing that beautiful eye.

    I used to use blue eyeshadow...

    ..... but think it looks much nicer on the tiny Peaceful Dove. It's difficult to assess the size of birds in pictures, but this guy is small for a dove, not even as big as our Blackbird! Little charmers, though.

    A little quiet

    This is a Peaceful Dove and they're really tiny for doves, smaller than our Blackbirds! A charming species I think and so pretty too.

  5. Quietness descends

    Quietness descends

    ... with the arrival of this Peaceful Dove. Perhaps a rather apt species to post during the days of the anniversary of the Victory in Europe celebrations. In addition our roads are very quiet too, aren't they. It would be nice to think that could last, wouldn't it.

    Sweet these little doves, aren't they ... and indeed they are little! The size of our Collared Dove is 3032 cm, giants in comparison to this one at 19 to 21 cm.

  7. At peace

    At peace

    With the finches on that grass verge was a tiny Peaceful Dove. I don't think they're even as big as our Blackbirds! In fact they're not.... not even as big as our Starling! Very attractive.

    A peaceful dove is having a meal. Peaceful doves and fairy wrens were busy eating this grass flower at Aplins weir, Ross River.
