A better look (Ptilinopus magnificus)

After we'd had our breakfast we had another, very slow, drive up the Austinville Valley. For a large part of it Hans walked ahead of the car, and we held back so our movement and noise wouldn't disturb anything.

At one point he motioned for me to join him as he'd found this beauty up in the trees. We'd seen one on our last visit, but the lighting and height weren't nearly as good.
