Olive-backed Sunbirds at Bued River

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

I noticed a few days ago that these colorful little critters are frequently visiting some katuray trees (vegetable hummingbird tree, Sesbania grandiflora)
along the Bued River, northern Philippines. They use their elongated bills to sip nectar from the long, curved flowers. All I need to do was to wait patiently
and motionlessly beside the trees, and they don't mind me being around as long as I keep myself outside their comfort distance, usually not nearer than 6 meters.
