“Was caught in a little forest birdwave today and heard simultaneous calls from Pin-striped Tit Babblers (Macronous gularis), a Van Hasselt’s Sunbird (formerly known as Purple-throated) (Leptcoma brasiliana), and a Little Spiderhunter (Arachnothera longirostra).
“Above is a video of the Little Spiderhunter calling, with the sunbird tweeting in the background and a tailorbird (not sure which) trying to get some attention too.
“The image at the top shows a Little Spiderhunter on a separate occasion, perched on its favourite Torch Ginger ( Etlingera elatior) flower which it visits almost every day for breakfast.”
