But next time the sunbird attacked from behind and killed the spider.  It's a pity that the AF of my camera was hunting and couldn't capture the moment « Last Edit: Jun 14th, 2004, 10:10am by BBS Moderators » Logged Welcome to Lynx Aviary http://www.9014316.com/birds.htm joe_0317 BBS Member BBS Newbie 觀鳥是我的生命     Gender: Posts: 3 Re: Fork-tailed Sunbird hunting spider 叉尾太陽鳥 « Reply #3 on: Jun 12th, 2004, 8:53pm » Quote Modify 靚爆。。 Logged ~渦卷鳴門~ ~我愛觀鳥~ Captain Guest Re: Fork-tailed Sunbird hunting spider 叉尾太陽鳥 « Reply #4 on: Jun 12th, 2004, 10:45pm » Quote Modify Remove This father is also great (father's day is coming ?!) and  with excellent skill of raising babies.     Raising three babies is not an easy job.... I guess most woodland birds in HK could successfully raise two babies per brood.  But really have no idea.   Anyway, thanks for the sharing. Quite nice.   Cheers,   Captain Logged 瞬 BBS Member BBS Junior Member 吞噬     Gender: Posts: 18 Re: Fork-tailed Sunbird hunting spider 叉尾太陽鳥 « Reply #5 on: Jun 13th, 2004, 11:01am » Quote Modify GREAT 在香港常常出沒的嗎？ Logged .....路過中.....
