Fastidious diner
We came across this male orang utan sitting low in a tree over the water, carefully choosing which ripe fruit he wanted to eat. We were very lucky to see one so close, and whilst I do not pretend that it is anything like as good as some of Craig's recent work on the species, I am still proud of it.

Thanks for looking.

David

I should think that you are proud of it David. You must have been well chuffed to get that close to such a fantastic animal and get a decent pic as well :wink:
