Bright sunshine day.
A pair of pink-necked green pigeons perched high up on the trees in the Ex Area 1, making it difficult to take photos. Or they do not perch long. No pigeons in Ex Area 2 today.

Bright sunshine day.
Pink-necked green pigeons flew from tree to tree in Ex Area 1. Hard to photograph them.

Video of the PNGB at the same tree I saw in Apr 2018 - one year ago.
I took a video as they were much higher up and hidden by the leaves.
DIFFERENCE BET ORANGE BREASTED GREEN PIGEON AND PINK-NECKED GREEN PIGEON.
2007. This is the first sighting of the Orange-breasted Green Pigeon (Treron bincinctus) in Singapore, a male bird. The bird looks like the Pink-necked Green Pigeon (Treron vernans) except that the forehead, face and throat are greenish yellow. Also, the mauve-pink upper breast area is smaller and does not extend to the neck. The outer feathers of the tail is blackish, with a broad pale grey subterminal band.
