Close and closer we get

Little Green Pigeon (Treron olax)

 From a distance I could see a pair of Punai Daun or Little Green Pigeon resting at the Cempedak tree on one of  the tallest hills at Zone G.  The male of the species has  a grey face, head and nape.  The most striking feature is the dark maroon back and orange upper breast.  The female however is greenish with a grey forehead.  The Little Green Pigeon is a permanent resident of the park.
