I've photographed Fork-tailed Sunbirds twice before, and they're incredibly hard to capture. They're tiny, super active, and always blocked by leaves.

This time, at a wetland park, I ran into a bold little guy who kept hopping between trees and singing loudly.

Best of all, he stayed on each perch for quite a while.

Total model behavior!

Verditer Flycatcher

When it's facing away, it blends perfectly into the stony shore. You'd never spot it unless it moves or turns around!
