		Oriental here, I see mating behaviour in about February, earliest, just as winter cold is about to break.
		In fact of the Streptopelia species in the region only the Oriental has a defined Feb-April breeding season, the rest are at it round the clock.

		Turtle doves are migratory, whereas I don't think pigeons are.
		This is noticeable when the bird stoops to drink, raising its spread tail." Several doves of the same genus are also called "turtle doves" for instance the Asian Eastern or Oriental Turtle Dove.
		The birds form strong pair bonds, which makes the choice of "two turtle doves" a good one.

		Just before the next pond, an Ortolan Bunting and Oriental Turtle Dove were seen, whilst in the reeds surrounding the water several Great Reed Warblers were singing and showed very well.
		Meanwhile, European Turtle Dove and a flyover Eurasian Hobby were totally overshadowed in terms of size and stature by an awesome Black Vulture (a scarce bird in Kazakhstan) that soared overhead.
		Walking out across the dam we saw Black-throated Accentor, Oriental Turtle Dove and a flock of Water Pipits, whilst we heard but could not find a Severtzov’s Tit-Warbler, so we followed a path around the lake and scanned the far end from an overlook.

		Situated in western China, Qinghai is the ideal place to see a mix of Central Asian specialities, Chinese/Tibetan endemics, and isolated populations of otherwise mostly Siberian species.
		Also-possibles include Oriental Turtle Dove, Southern Spotted and Chinese Bush Warblers, Chinese Nuthatch, and Grey-headed Bullfinch.
		If we have not already encountered the retiring, outrageously beautiful Crested Tit-warbler or the little-known Przevalski's Nuthatch we will be encouraged that there is nowhere better in the world to search for them than where we are today, and a special effort to find these real star birds is likely to bear fruit.
