#palmtaube

One of the many doves I encountered on my trip to the Algarve in Portugal. At first I thought this was a turtle dove, but then I looked closer and the black and white neck spot was missing. Next I did a picture search with Google and discovered that it is a laughing dove (also called palm dove), which is really interesting, because they can usually not be found in Europe but live in Africa and the Middle East. So I guess this bird made the way from Northern Africa to Portugal.
