cough, cough and cough… a survivor, the pink-necked green pigeon! although they are among the most commonly found birds in singapore, they have been away from mount faber for awhile… i found this little fella yesterday, late afternoon, in the middle of tree leaves, branches and smoke…õ_Õ ha, sorry! the focus is a little off from the lack of light and the windy situation, but i still love his facial expression!:D i think they’ve disappeared from mount faber because of the weekly insecticide fogging (for mosquito breeding *dengue fever*) and so, i was particularly happy by his short visit!
