Upload my iphone video for ID; very small but is this a Fork-tailed Sunbird?
I have one 2 years ago in the same area (Braemar Hill) but sort of "larger". That one I had photo (after some neck pain, as it is 80% high up a very tall tree). This one is smaller (even though it is closer), my eye (not the video) did see some red bit but no shinny purple feather). It did sound like it.
... my GH4 run out of battery ... otherwise I would be sure. Any help on ID? Author: ajohn Time: 23/08/2015 13:41
The call is definitely a sunbird. From what I can see of the bird it looks like a male Fork-tailed Sunbird - the belly looks pale yellowish-white with a darker throat. Author: Jonathmartinez Time: 23/08/2015 15:57
I would even said that call is definitly Fork-tailed Sunbird Author: dng88 Time: 23/08/2015 19:53
Many thanks. I would try to get photo of it if it is a resident. Looking forward for it to be a juev. or female as "pocket" a male one years ago in tree around the corner there.
