Spotted
The Red-naped Fruit Dove is an exquisitely colored bird, primarily green with a vibrant red patch on its nape and a purple breast. This rare and elusive species is endemic to the island of Sumba, thriving in its evergreen forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to Sumba Island, Indonesia. Inhabits primary and secondary evergreen forests, often at mid-altitudes and in denser woodlands.
How to spot
Due to its shyness and dense forest habitat, it can be challenging to spot. Focus on the canopy of fruiting trees. Listening for its distinctive mellow, hooting calls is often the best way to locate this beautiful but elusive bird.
When to spot
Best observed during the early morning or late afternoon when actively foraging for fruits. It is a resident species, present year-round.
