Collared sunbird (male)

Only the male has the blue collar.
We have been fortunate that this pair have been visiting our bird table for some time. Such petty little things.

The Collared Sunbird

The Collared Sunbird, Hedydipna collaris, is a sunbird. The sunbirds are a group of very small Old World passerine birds which feed largely on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. Collared Sunbird is in fact mainly insectivorous.
