Oriental Turtle-Dove (Streptopelia orientalis) breeds across a large part of temperate Asia including the Himalayas, and in parts of Southeast Asia and central India.
Populations in the north migrate entirely to the tropics during winter but some of the more southern populations may not move as much.
Oriental Turtle-Dove is a winter visitor to most of South and central India but where do these birds come from? Do they come from populations that breed in the subcontinent or from more northern populations?
