Im the Swede with the Darne. It is indeed the euroasian collared dove that we hunt. It can be shot over decoys or in August/september when wheat is harvested I take post under a tree on their flightline near the fields.
About the woodcock. The north american is a smaller one, hence the latin name Scolopax Minor, the european is Scollopax Rusticola.
I am new to the forum, but when I learn how to post pictures I have some from dove hunts.
