Since the Cissus vines have started fruiting, an ever increasing raiding party of Topknot Pigeons is feeding an the grapes.
They come in quickly, feed for a few minutes, then fly off into nearby trees to rest and digest before coming back about half an hour later for another feed. Today we saw about 20 pigeons. They are very large and conspicuous, flying noisily between roosting and feeding trees. As they are quite wary, I didn’t get close enough for a really good photograph.
Another topknot down the road:
Two mature male Victoria’s Riflebirds have started displaying a few weeks ago, after finishing their moult.
