Kereru posing amongst the flowers

My best spot for spotting Kereru (New Zealand wood pigeon) is in Fairfield, Dunedin. The last time I visited I saw four individuals in one tree. They are a delight to watch when they try to sit on a branch that can't support their weight, or when they eat so much ripe fruit that they become drunk from the fermented sugars. The below individual was too beautiful not to photograph as it was posing among the spring blossoms.
