“Spotted a male Olive-backed Sunbird (Nectarinia jugularis ornate) hovering at a spider’s nest (partly hidden) (above).
“Came out with a tasty bite, possible the spider itself (or stole an insect from the web) (below).
“Note the beautiful yellow-orange pectoral tuft usually concealed. See also HERE”
An earlier post on the Crimson Sunbird (Aethopyga siparaja siparaja) feeding at a spider’s web can be seen HERE and an Olive-backed Sunbird taking a spider HERE.
