New for our garden

New for our garden (Columba leucomela)

This White-headed Pigeon was a new bird for our garden, when it came to visit on a very wet day.This is a fruit-eating pigeon,found in the rainforest,but also seen in open areas if food is available..We know that this is a crummy shot,photographed through a glass window,with the bird on our concrete driveway,but a new bird is just that:"a new bird".
