When we first saw these amusing little creatures we thought they were a type of large sparrow - a group of them were twitering excitedly around some food someone had thrown them:
Looking closely, however, their head movement when they walked (rather than hopped) suggested something from the pidgeon family - but the smallest pidgeon we had ever seen.
All was revealed by an information board we came across later in the day - the bird is a Dove; and hopefully you can read the description in the photo.
(By the way, note that it is not the 'Hawaiian Dove' , just 'Dove'; for the same reason we don't call the dove in the UK a 'British Dove').
