Jambu Fruit Doves

18th April 2010, Kemensah, Selangor.

The last time I saw the Jambu Fruit Dove ( Ptilinopus jambu)  in Kemensah was about two years ago. Jambu in malay  means ‘guava’. There were two, picking fruits on the lower tier of the canopy on Sunday. The male has a beautiful crimson face and a pink breast patch.

Hadn’t realized that I had actually shot the female.
