I had thought the Top Knot Pigeon was the same as a Crested Pigeon, and how wrong i was!  Lovely photo.

Fantastic shot. I have only been able to photograph these from long distance.

Beautiful shot WD. I have never been able to get this close to them. Such excellent detail. They are a funny looking bird.

Great catch, i get flocks of them flying over my house in winter, but they rarely land.

when they do, they land in the highest tree tops for a rest, then continue their journey.

Thanks all for the comments - there were 5 or 6 in a large fig tree in a grassed picnic area so i was able to move around and eventually get a unobscured shot of one on a lower branch.

Great shot! I have only seen them at Atherton where they conveniently landed on palms to feast on the fruit.

Great shot WD, coincidentaly saw one for the very first time on Saturday, got a couple of shots but nowhere near the quality of yours.
