Another great capture Romy. I also like the foreground flower as it acts as a framing tool leading to the colorful bird.

Wow nice! With your pics and knowledge of bird pics, you should really write a coffee table book on Philippine birds sir Romy!

That's really a handsome Sunbird. It's funny to note that I started my passion for photography from looking bird pictures in pbase.

Thanks for sharing it!

Wow, nice colors! :)
