Birds of a feather- Just as curious

Jeff · 7th December 2004

Same perch, same species, same curiosity

Male

Female

Well, I have been trying to get one of these feathers in-flight shot but it seems that they r always hiding and flapping behind foliage. Guess just have to try until lady luck knocks.

Hope u enjoy them.

Your Sunbird shots have certainly set a very high standard here.

Stunning shots again. Like the BG.

This must be a favourite perch for them.

Many Thanks chngpe01 and Garion for the encouragement. I have learnt alot from u folks in this forum and am glad that the spirit of knowledge sharing can be passed on to the newbies.

Excellent! I share PE's remarks - notice you have some on naturephotographers, too. They are magnificent birds.

Hi Jeff...
Your perch have a very nice background... these pictures are taken from SBG?

You are indeed a sunbird specialist

Jeff · 9th December 2004

Thanks folks. Like Kingfishers, sunbirds and spider hunters have their favorite perch. In this case, I have selected MOG as the sunbirds and spider hunters are regulars there ( I must have repeated this phrase for many many times

). Occassionally, u may observe a flowerpecker or two, if u r in luck.

Joseph, I'm not a specialist, just a hobbiist.

Remember to try the food @ MOG. I love the Italian pasta they served.
