Spotted one not in your gallery (29 Oct 06). About 5inches tall, reddish brown top, light golden yellow breast, dark blue wings, red beak - don't know the name! If you come out from the gate to Botanic Gardens (the one along Cluny Road further down from the French Embassy) and look left across the road, you will see some oil palms. Follow the drain behind the houses for a bit. You might get lucky if you stake out the place!
