SUNBIRD 6/11 - Purpled-naped Sunbird


 
Purple-naped Sunbird

 
Another surprise lifer in Taman Rekreasi Ampang. The Purple-naped Sunbird was nursing its oversized junior in the month of late June/July. Earlier thought it was the Yellow-vented Flowerpecker but the blue purple naped and upper tail covert tells otherwise

Size less than 6 inches but the juvenile is larger and heavier looking. The latter was chirping away chasing calling for more food and the poor dad got to work doubly hard to please it. Mum is no where in sight Poor fellow!
