Just remember that the Collared Dove is an Asiatic invading species, it is displacing and killing off native British birds....

Everywhere mate.....they are farmland birds but as they on decline you dont see many around....ive not seen one where i live for a few years...according to the RSPB they are now the most threatened farmland bird...they are quite small just a little larrger than a blackbird and had a 70% decline in population since the 90's

We do have the smaller species of turtle dove as well their colour is the same but the spots on there neck are a bit thin ,these are local birds and there breeding season just started .
