It might well be a Bucks term, Eric because I've heard people call them Ring Doves. It may also be because we have Ring-necked Parakeets though and people are just mixing their birds up. Scrap the above suggestions, I've just done a google search and apparently there is a Ring-necked Dove (Streptopelia capicola) and a Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto). |

Thanks Jan, and thanks for that information Ann. The GS Woodpecker was back too but I had just removed the card from my camera to upload the shots so missed him. |

I am pasting a link to a little video I made of a humming bird in 20017 and see if it works. Turn the noise up, I set it to music. https://www.flickr.com/photos/erichardyuk/3515304972/in/photolist-6mCRGq-aDfLN |

A great video clip, Eric. It's many years since I last saw a Hummingbird (when I lived in Brazil in the 70s). |
