| Remarks : | One more individual of the species is not in the frame; in all four Green Imperial Pigeons visited the site together. The one on the extreme left in the frame is probably a juvenile, because of its darker appearance. The group was observed eating clay at this spot. A pair of Oriental Turtle Doves Streptopelia orientalis and a large flock of Yellow-footed Green Pigeons Treron phoenicopterus was also present at the site. - PP |
