It was the Orange-bellied Flowerpecker, resident, yet not so regularly sighted. To have it fly down to the bushes for its favourite berry-like fruits was an unexpected bonus. In fact it was a pair that flew in but unfortunately the female chose to stay within the bushes and this male simply and absolutely commanded my full attention by virtue of its close proximity that I had no time to seek out the female.
This could easily be my favourite pose.
Soon after it crushed and swallowed its fruit meal, it scouted around for more but I guessed with no more suitably ripe ones in sight, it flew off as suddenly and rapidly as it flew in.
