Balancing act

Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve, Singapore

Here the sunbird almost looks as if he is about to fall off his perch.
Of course, the grip of his feet on the twig is probably quite strong,
but also the small but relatively significant weight of his head and
outstretched wing might explain why his body leans towards his left.
