Description
This little sunbird took a well earned rest on a trellis outside my bedroom window. I was very fortunate to catch this sharp in the low light at the time.
He is a Southern Double-collared Sunbird (Cinnyris chalybeus).
Have a great weekend,
Clive
Oops: My bedroom is in Cape Town, South Africa. The sunbird uses its long curved beak to get nectar out of flowers, especially the trumpet variety of blooms.
