4006. SINGAPORE WILDLIFE - Incredible stories: April 4, 2018. Orange breasted green pigeons posed for me

Apr 4, 2018 8am, Wednesday.  
"No way the pigeons will appear today," I thought as I exercised in the public fitnesss corner. Yesterday, I did not exercise but the day before, I spotted a pair of Orange breasted green pigeons on the tree opposite my exercise machine. It was April 2, an Easter Monday. I had taken some photos using my zooms lens.

Well, they appear for few seconds. The female posed for me as shown below:

The male has an orange breast
First appearance of the male looking at me. Took this image fast. He was looking at me.

Very difficult to see the pigeons on the tree opposite my exercise arm extender since the sighting on the first day on April 2, 2018. Today is April 12, 2018. At 8am, two appeared but flew off fast. One did give me a few seconds to zoom in and take the pictures. Look like a female with less orange breast seen.

It is very rare for me to see the orange breasted green pigeons in my neighbourhood throughout the years. So, their appearance is a rare treat for photography.

The spotted dove is commonly seen in pairs or small groups. I have one image below:

4005. Mushrooms in my garden. Apr 2, 2018 8am










By 6pm, the hot afternoon sun had demolished all of them.

4004. Easter Monday Apr 2, 2018 8.15am Orange crested doves

April 2, 2018  8.15am  Easter Monday

Went for exercise in a fitness area some 2 minutes walk away from my home. Did not bring handphone (charging). A solitary dove appeared on the tree, flew away. Then a loving couple posed for me. No phone. The couple flew away. I missed my opportunity.

Walked back to get DSLR camera, expecting no bird but to photograph the tree. This one appeared and posed for few seconds. Then flew away. Another one further up the tree flew with him or her.
