Olive-backed Sunbirds are common in Thailand, even in Bangkok where I live. I am often amazed that these beautiful little birds manage to thrive in such a polluted, busy, urban area but thrive they do and a pair frequently visit the few plants that I have in my yard and balcony.It is really interesting to watch these little sunbirds visiting flowering plants to drink the nectar and forage for insects - they are a real jewel in a concrete jungle.The Olive-backed Sunbirds that visit our house have not only entertained me and my wife but have captured the attentions of family and neighbours. Hopefully in this lens I can pass on some of my enthusiasm for these birds to the readers.
