We have a winner |=)| (Ptilinopus regina)

Firecrest saw four birds, of which at least three were Rose-crowned Fruit-doves. Fruit-doves is correct! I think there were four in the tree, but I can only see three in that picture - the explanation could be that Delia was also right that when you stare at them long enough, they turn into leaves. Amazing that such colourful birds can be so well camouflaged :eek!:

Good grief girl!!! Don't know how you managed to see him up in that tree, I've studied the pictures a few times and still don't know how you did it LOL.

This is nice.... such a pretty dove.

Well done to Chris too.
