A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!

Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Where are the havitat for these?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Mostly Southeast Asia. They're pretty small and fast so it's tricky to catch them sometimes.

Beautiful, good job photographing this one! We have sunbirds too (south africa) but not this one I think.
