Rüppell's weaver (Ploceus galbula)

took my place to face the window and wait for the little sunbirds to come to the fragrant flowers of the Millingtonia hortensis tree, when this brat came so close (no crop in the shot) and to my surprise he was also coming to pick the flowers and drink the nectar.

hope you like it.
