3. Cinnamon-headed Green-Pigeon

   Details

   continuing individuals. Female first seen at the usual tree visible from Puaka Bridge, bicoloured bill, overall darker plumage and grey crown were noted. It was vocalising and soon after male flew in giving ravishing views above our heads. However it was brief, taking off the next second before anyone could get a shot. The female followed the male. After 30 minutes of searching we found the female a distance away outside living lab. We followed it and found the male perching a moderate distance away behind the toilet block. It then moved to the fruiting trees in front of the main entrance to living lab where it fed for the next 5-10 minutes before disappearing.
