Laughing Dove

This is a nice portrait of a Laughing Dove in my Wadi, another common bird and one that is a resident bird and so one that can cope with the very hot weather. My Bee-eaters are really looking quite disreputable with slightly tatty feathers and very faded, but this dove is looking in great condition and is obviously proudly posing here. My Wadi and my most favourite bird watching location has been 'altered' by human intervention-well great big JCB diggers and the river re-routed, so my spot under a huge tree is not what it was, I'm going back again later to assess the damage done, very upset about it, but it only effects me, there is still water and plenty of green space for the birds and wildlife, thank goodness!
