Shining Sunbird (Cinnyris habessinicus)

This beautiful little Sunbird is flying energetically(despite the heat) about between the flowering shrubs feeding and chasing off other male Sunbirds, the female is very hard to track as she is not at all conspicuous like her mate, being sadly rather dowdy in comparison with his metallic plumage. Mentioned before although this looks rather like a hummingbird it is not, although it will feed from a sugared water dispenser so I want to try that!
