Outside the UK now with the pink pigeon. Found only in Mauritius and the only species of pigeon to survive extinction on the island.
It was nearly extinct by 1991 with only 10 birds left. There's around 500 birds now thanks to conservation efforts and I was luck enough to see two different populations when I visted in 2018.
Mauritius is a great place to go for bird watching, especially as they have 28 species that can only be found there.
