Fruity (Ptilinopus magnificus)

We had a good look round while out of the car looking at the robin and spotted this Wompoo Fruit Dove high in the trees.

My first of only two sightings of this large dove, both of them in the same valley but on different days. The only fruit dove I've seen!

Fortunately the other picture was rather better than this one.
