“For completeness of this bird, the Crimson Sunbird (Aethopyga siparaja siparaja), posted earlier:
“An adult female that was feeding the juvenile posted yesterday (above).
“An eclipse male that was part of this group (above). There were only 4 Crimson Sunbirds seen on both occasions at same site. Adult male and female, a very young juvenile and this immature male. I wonder if eggs could be laid at different intervals and both are young from current batch or perhasa male from the previous breeding cycle?
“Another two of the juvenile from 16th Jan 2018. Likes to stick out its tubular tongue (above, below).
