have a hummingbird look about them, with their iridescent colors\u2026and they fill pretty much the same niche as hummingbirds in the America, so it is a shock to the system, or at least my system, to hear them sing\u2026and sing they do! There were half-a-dozen species of Sunbirds working the flowering shrubs on the grounds of Chimpanzee Forest Lodge and I was in photographer\u2019s heaven \ud83d\ude42 This is the Scarlet-chested Sunbird which has a range in West Africa south of the Sahara, then down on both sides of the rift valley, and on both coasts of South Africa above South African itself. It relatively large for a sunbird, and uniquely back and red, with that green\/blue crown and throat, and that huge de-curved bill. Hard to miss. \ud83d\ude42 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
