An adult soaring above the wetland. It has a white head, neck and underparts, with grey-black upper body/flight feathers. Sex indeterminate.
It flew from a tree up onto this roof. The distinct patch of black and white spots on its neck is clear sign of its identity, with a lighter head and brown body. It was making a soft cooing sound and stayed on the roof for a few minutes before flying away. This individual is likely an adult male since females are said to be usually more slender and smaller, whereas this individual is broader, fatter and has a round head.
Looking for food outside a restaurant (ate some human food). Eventually stayed under the roof of the restaurant to seek shelter from the rain
Diagnostic characters:
Overall brown in colour but with a unique white-spotted black nape patch
