Yesterday, I did not exercise. Today, I went earlier at around 8.00 am. At around 8.10 am, I saw one orange breasted green pigeon perched high up on a tree to my behind and right, as if posing for me to photograph. He was there for around one minute sunning himself. May be a female.

Vet 2. Toa Payoh Vets. Wife consulted. Internet research. Tel me. Worried about loss of eye.
Evidence of eye ulceration of cornea in right eye. Green if recent abrasions but white cloudy when healed over time.
