The Rameron Pigeon, or African Olive Pigeon is one of my favourite visitors to the garden. They are usually found in cool, moist forest canopies, but have become increasingly common in Johannesburg gardens over the last few years as more people are planting indigenous trees - especially the karee and wild olive which they seem to love. It is often said that Johannesburg is the largest man made Forrest in the world, I'm not sure if that is true, but if the increasing population of Rameron pigeons if anything to go by perhaps it is! Although I frequently see them they are quite secretive so i was happy to get this snap through the foliage!
