This bird was an absolute bonus - usually hard to find and even harder to photograph but on this day I stopped in the carpark to show my parents some flycatchers and just happened to look down - and there it was.  A happy but shocked photographer.

Lovely new set of additions, the Rose-crowned Fruit Dove is a very pretty bird!

I love it when the unexpected happens and one gets a well deserved extra bird.
