Wompoo Fruit-doves at nest - a photo on Flickriver

            in dense rainforest on the Atherton Tablelands in Queensland, Australia.
 
We first spotted the male, collecting nesting material to bring to the female on the nest. The nest is quite tiny for such large doves.

These  fruit eating doves inhabit tropical and subtropical rainforests in Eastern Australia and Papua New Guinea.
The scientific name contains "magnificus" and these doves are truly a magnificent sight.
