I love this photo Sir Romy. You bested your previous Island Collared Dove's photos. This is currently the best photo of this bird that I know of.  |

That's good news Sir Romy. I also remember about 4 years ago talking with people from Nueva Ecija that they see less and less of this bird and more and more of the Spotted Dove. The birds are returning!!! And with "new" birds as bonus! This is an example of the positive effect of what regulations on bird trade/hunting has done to the Candaba area. Good thing that the local authorities there knows what's best. Bravo and more power to the Candaba authorities!!! Thanks, Eric.
