Wow, excellent, thanks a lot. Glad I managed to grab a quick pic as it only hung around for a few secs.

I see it's a South American bird so what's it doing in the African Waterfall aviary?!
 
The same as the Eared Dove [also South American] -- having its lunch off a feeding tray.

After spending a couple of years "cleansing" the aviary of non-African birds, the park has reversed its decision to stick to a geographical theme. The aviary will now be populated with generic tropical birds. The park simply could not acquire enough African birds to fill the large space. Also it wanted to inject more colour into the aviary, adding for example the brightly coloured Sun Conures and Asian Black-naped Orioles.

The word "African" has been dropped from the aviary's name.
