A Rare Visitor

This small bird is a rare visitor and is caught, on camera that is.





Have no idea what kind of bird it is though. But thanks to the internet, it has been identified as the yellow bellied female Sunbird which is about 4 inches in length.





Originally from mangrove habitat, the Olive-backed sunbird has adapted well to humans, and is now common even in fairly densely populated areas, even building their nests in human dwellings. They seem to exploit the fact that most predatory species avoid humans and by building their nests near areas with high activity they gain some form of protection. Although primarily a nectar feeder, Sunbirds feed their young on insects.
