  • The Diamond Dove (Geopelia cuneata) is a common inhabitant of vast areas of semi-arid and arid Australia. Their call, as shown on the Video, is a gentle call that gives lovely background ambiance to outback Australia.
    I filmed these in the Gulf of Carpentaria and also Far Western Queensland.
    General description.
    The Diamond Dove is the smallest Australian Dove, with a distinctive red eye-ring, blue-grey head and breast. The back and wings are smoky brown with fine white spots on the wings. In flight, there is a distinctive chestnut wing panel. The female is browner. It is also known as Little Dove or Red-eyed Dove. I began birdwatching when I was 12 and progressed to bird photography and then to bird Video for the past 15 years.
    Originally from the UK, I find birding in Australia exciting and engaging. I have now travelled around Australia twice but mainly film birds in Queensland.
    Many of the bird clips are taken from hides or blinds that I construct from bush materials, saving the need to carry a hide to a location.
    Knowing bird calls and song is a big part of finding each species and naturally, knowing the habitat requirements helps also.

      @@TimSiggs having enjoyed the Melbourne CBD Falcons during August and later, it occurred to me that the bird you filmed would be a tasty treat for any birds of prey. No doubt they keep a close eye on any prey.

    Beautiful channel! I live in SEQ and have been trying to figure out which bird call is in the beginning of this video before the diamond dove calls. Please let me know if you know what it is! :)

      Thanks for your kind words. There are two birds calling at the beginning. Little Friarbird and the deeper Bar-shouldered Dove. Have fun with the birds!
