The Ruby-cheeked Sunbird (Chalcoparia singalensis) is commonly found in forest and forest edge and must be one of the loveliest small birds that reside in the bukit.
This bird stuns with its bejewelled plumage of emerald green, ruby red, a tease of metallic lavender, and autumnal orange. The female is no less attractive with its 'soft' plumage of olive-green.
It typically forages in the upper canopy of trees but on this occasion descended too close, too close challenging my focus!
The morning was pierced by the pair's sharp calls and trills, matched with ceaseless movements and activities.
