Spotted
The Eurasian Collared Dove is a medium-sized dove known for its rapid and impressive range expansion across the globe. It is characterized by its pale grey-buff plumage and the distinct black half-collar on its nape.
Where to spot
Native to Asia, it has successfully colonized Europe, North Africa, and North America. Found in a wide variety of habitats, including urban areas, suburbs, parks, gardens, and agricultural landscapes.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive three-note coo 'doo-HOO-hooo', which is often repeated. Look for its uniform pale grey-buff plumage, darker primary feathers, and the narrow black half-collar on the back of its neck. It's often seen perched on wires, roofs, or foraging on the ground.
When to spot
Common and resident year-round in most parts of its range. Breeding occurs over an extended period, often from early spring to late autumn, making it observable for much of the year.

This dove achieved one of the most remarkable natural colonizations by a bird species in modern history, spreading from Asia across Europe in the 20th century and then colonizing North America.
