wiki:
The Eurasian Collared Dove, Streptopelia decaocto, also called the Eurasian Collared-Dove or simply the Collared Dove, is one of the great colonisers of the avian world. Its original range was warmer temperate regions from southeastern Europe to Japan. However, in the twentieth century it expanded across the rest of Europe, reaching as far west as Great Britain by 1953, and Ireland soon after. It also now breeds north of the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia. It is not migratory.

It was introduced into the Bahamas in the 1970s and spread to Florida by 1982. Its stronghold in North America is still the Gulf Coast, but it is now found as far south as Veracruz, as far west as California, and as far north as British Columbia and the Great Lakes. Its impact on native species is as yet unknown; it appears to occupy an ecological niche between that of the Mourning Dove and Rock Pigeon; some have suggested that its spread represents exploitation of a.Camera Model

Hello Annick,
Great composition with lovely background to highlight the subject, good work Annick.
Rick

excellent shot. it's not always that we see the sharpness and focus all throughout the bird. you have managed good DOP very very well for this dove. with nice colors, and a good clear background, you have made this dove look as beautiful as its name.
excellent!

Here in Spain when I was a child was not known and now is one of the commonest birds in the gardens and parks and eveywhere... is easiest to see than the original S. turtur.

Your image is very sharp and beautiful.

Hola Annick,
como siempre magnífico trabajo,
bello bg, nitidez y texturas,
saludos

This is a nice sharp image of this dove, with a wonderful soft background. How close were you to your subject? I'm curious as to how much you can crop images taken with that lens and still maintain a sharp image.

Hi Annick,
Lovely picture of this Collared Dove. One of the best I have seen of this bird.
Since the first pair arrived here in the UK they have bred so rapidly they are now considered vermin.
