It's the Peaceful Dove, the smallest of the doves. A family of these adopted me in Carnarvon after one of the chicks was blown out of the nest. They eat seeds and are beautiful to watch as they go about their business. They're also great parents to their young.

I could make the obvious comment about too many holes on the green, but I'll restrain myself.

Cocoul pheasants have one of the most boring sounds. In the Kimberley they call them "whoop whoop birds", because they make that sound. You hear them before you see them. They graze on the ground and perch on low branches. I called them cookoo pheasants because they are really stupid.

Oh, I have heard of those ones CG. And heard the sound too.

I had quite a few of these around my camp on the Burdekin River last week (near Charters Towers).
They are about a budgy size and even though it does not appear that well in the photo, have a blue tinge around the head.

no, but I do have phone numbers
All Wombat needs is a hole in one to make him happy!
Now you can't top that so don't even try...
