Fruithunter , a rare Borneo Endemic. which normal found near fruiting tree .
When with guests walking into trail , a bird just flew in ~5 feet from me …from the quick and fast reaction I thought it is a little cuckoo dove . But when it perch, I am wrong !!! it is a Fruithunter and a pair (male stand little bit away)
saw this pigeon few times in Genting Highland but it is either without camera or backlight to have any picture of video . This time, finally have my light setup with me and it is not that high up but still not full open for better video or picture .
