Finding a perch

Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve, Singapore

Fifteen metres above the ground, this male Olive-backed Sunbird
finds a comfortable perch in the sun in which to preen his feathers.
Interestingly, it is not a protected spot, and if raptors can be
bothered taking sunbird-sized prey, this position would be very vulnerable.
