Scarlet-chested Sunbird
Chalcomitra senegalensis
-22.575, 17.0861
Field Notes
Description:
Presented here is the male - mainly brown in appearance. It's spectacular scarlet chest reveals when you see it in the right light. The male bird also sports an iridescent dark-green-almost-blue face and throat - that moment is spectacular, those colours are unforgettable... And sorry, but here I missed that one...
Habitat:
Urban - outskirts of Windhoek, still very close to the city-centre.
Notes:
The very first (successful) series of shots in Windhoek; in the backyard of our office. Not a lifer, but a great start of Namibia series...
