Caught this bird quite far through my camera zoom.
It was raining slightly. The bird was scanning the neighbourhood quite intensely.
When I zoomed in a bit more, it looked as if it did not have a beak!
It had a brown head with light brown body down.
Not finding anything to eat – perhaps – it turned giving me a better view of it from its back. And before I could click again, it flew away. But I could get a fairly good view of its feathers /wings.
Did some research and with help from my friends, it seems that the bird is “Oriental Turtle Dove” . Maybe they are migrating from the northern part of India as winter is closing in there as these birds are known to migrate to South India during winter.
