Can there be more colour to this bird? I remember just standing and watching this bird do its thing for a few minutes before I even remembered to take a shot! Just amazed by the colour presentation!

The Crimson Sunbird is a common but spectacular sunbird species found in Singapore and east asia. If you hit a park you’re bound to see one!

The males have such a colorful plumage while the females presents no colour.
