Thanks to all those who provided info. on Barbary Dove sites in Adelaide. I failed spectacularly, seeing more Barbary sheep (Adelaide & Monarto zoos) than I did doves. The following sites were visited, some a number of times: Magazine Rd, Dry Creek Sampson Rd., Elizabeth Roscommon Rd, Salisbury OG Road, Klemzig (Costless Plants, where I was gleefully informed on each visit “they were here last week”) 54 Oaklands Rd, Somerton Rd, Oaklands Park Ballara Ave, Warradale 10 Lily Ave, Campbelltown Durant St/Netherby Ave, Plympton Cnr. Oaklands & Diagonal Rds., Somerton Park Emma St, Marino Rocks Greenfields Wetlands carpark. My spouse/navigator became increasingly bemused and disinterested, but not before asking how did I know they weren’t in adjoining streets, a completely reasonable question for which I had, wisely, no answer. Having reacquainted myself with Adelaide’s streetology,I am resisting the urge to apply for an taxi licence. Needless to say, I am NOT interested in hearing who may have seen this abomination of a bird in Adelaide in recent weeks.
