    I saw this cutie and it left. I waited hours and it came back. Pretty simple. They come to the same places again and again; as long as they get the desired nectar.

    Waiting, waiting ... . Patience is the key when you found a blossom with scratch marks. "... males and females are very similar in plumage, ... the distinctive long beak set it apart from other sunbirds ... (wiki)".

    Around three hours of patience on day one and around five hours waiting time on day two. It was not as boring as it may sound because many other species (birds, insects et cetera) were there as well.

    This bird was using its long beak to probe the flowers, presumably for nectar.

    This Little Spiderhunter was oblivious to my presence busy with getting his fill of nectar from this banana flower. Just a behaviourial shot of a little bird that goes about its business quite un-noticed at the best of times. 1D Mk3 + EF800mm + 1.4II ext 1/60s f/10 ISO800 EV -1/3 Flash -2

    Not a very good shot, due to low lighting condition.
