Copper Sunbird I saw this bird at Whipsnade zoo. It was in the same area as various species of butterfly. It was eating a slice of orange shared by the butterflies. A crowd of people had just left and I was enjoying the peace and quiet when this bird flew down and took a couple of bites before flying off again just before the next crowd came in. It was singing in the bushes but no one else had the pleasure of seeing it.  Cinnyris cupreus,Copper sunbird,Geotagged,United Kingdom Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro
