Congratulations Kdon, this wonderful capture has earned you spotting of the day! Olive-backed sunbirds are monogamous, and both parents share nest building and caring for their young. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153236142350603&set=a.10152383557885603.943728.10150120463815603&type=1 https://twitter.com/projectnoah/status/378291033382977537
