Appeared on our balcony during this morning's storm. Never seeen one of these before - a bit like a small pigeon with red bill, brown head, blue eyes, bright green/brown wings, two black/white bars on its back and a brown/black tail. I'll try and get a photo before the cats get it. Any ideas anyone? |

Sounds like a female emerald dove - the male is similar, but has a whitish crown. If so, that's a pity - although resident , they are not commonly seen and it's a beautiful bird. There may be a few around, though, as I can often hear their soft mournful "hoo" call. I've only picture we have from Lamma is a rather poor fleeting record shot from Yi Gou buried on p. 33 of the "Lamma's top 10 birds" thread, see http://www.lamma.com.hk/forum/viewtopic ... &start=640 A bird from Australia is here: http://lamington.nrsm.uq.edu.au/Documen ... _small.JPG |

Thanks Zep, I think you're probably right. Ironic that I've never seen one live and it turns up dead at my door. |

Despite what this bent bloke seems to think, things rarely die at my door. BTW, you're jeopardizing my highly secret Forum identity, Dickperson. |

Saw the male partner of the dead female the other day and he's a beauty - if anyone's interested (and can drag themselves away from the Green Cottage) he hangs out in the trees just after the bridge down from Dickstock's place. |
