A few weeks ago I posted about a female sunbird; I said it was a Southern Double-Collared Sunbird female. Margaret (Birding for Pleasure) issued a friendly challenge for me to photograph the male.
I rose to the challenge and this morning I managed to photograph the male - but it is ANOTHER sunbird, Amethyst Sunbird. And the female I posted two weeks ago is the Amethyst female sunbird.
Amethyst Sunbird - female
Topsy turvy sight of the male - just had to show how agile he is!
He moves so fast - apologies for the blurry photo
