Nice. spend more time on the field and you will enjoy this more. you will observe behavior patterns which are repetitive and will be able to anticipate them and make even better images. and what is more.... you can’t ask for a better and worthy way to spend your free time. sun birds tend to be territorial and protective of their favorite feeding sites and by waiting near them you will get them a lot closer.

Nice to see it with a catch. Nice perch and eye contact. Agree with Roopak, if you sit at a good place, maybe using a hide then you would be able to get some good close-ups. Thanks for sharing.
