Is this an odd image or is it what the left-hand bird really looked like Has rain on the lens affected the photo? Possibly Peaceful Dove? Chris

I think Spotted Dove is best fit but hard to be certain from this image. I think we can confirm it if Nat is certain of his ID

Pretty sure both Spotted; was shot with camera phone through windscreen in rain ... so ... I'll dig up another shot.
