Oriental (Rufous) Turtle Dove

Chipping Norton,Oxfordshire 5/3/11

Finally after 3 attempts i managed to see this bird with good friend Andy Jones,after spending 2 fruitless visits in the last 10 days in poor weather seaching for & not connecting with the bird i was certainly relieved even more so to get some decent images from Stephen Akers kitchen window (top bloke for putting up with everyone)
