Woodpigeon - Ringdue - Columba palumbus
Ringduva - Sepelkyyhky - Ringeltaube

One of the great things about offshore birding is that all land birds are interesting - even the lowly Woodpigeon. Migrating birds commonly land on oil rigs and other offshore installations. I have even seen this species land on the sea, only to take off again.
