Emerald Dove at Coutts Crossing, NSW

["Greg and Val Clancy" <>]

      Today I observed an adult male Emerald Dove walking on the ground in our 
backyard in the village of Coutts Crossing at 16:05 hrs, it disappeared when I 
rushed to get the camera/scope. It reappeared at 16:35 hrs walking on the path 
near our bird bath at our back door. It disappeared again as I went for the 
camera. This is our first backyard record of the species, my first for the 
Coutts Crossing area and my first for the Clarence Valley for some years. This 
bird appears to be a rare, unpredictable, visitor to the Clarence Valley, north 
coast NSW.
