Big guy (Ptilinopus magnificus)

This is the largest 'dove' I've ever seen!

Hans spotted him high up in that tree. Awkwardly against the light, of course, so not the best image.

Fortunately I saw another one a few days later and got a better picture. You never forget the first, though, do you.

Laughing out loud Delia, I thought he was a raptor. He is a great looking bird regardless of what you call him. Great Capture sweetie-pie.
