Dear SOLVEIG,

Wonderful photos!

Sunbird colours are 'unstable', i.e.
iridescent, changing with incident
light (lysindfald).

The male 'CRIMSON Sunbird' is dark
crimson with almost black forehead and
malar stripe (skægstribe)and a brownish
belly in Kazmierczak's Indian field guide.

With OPALESCENT BLUE stripes and forehead,
LUCENT red breast and Yellowish belly You
show us a Different, equally charming
appearance of Crimson S.!

As an Xtra snack You demonstrate a Rare
feature :
That the UNDER side of the bill is con-
colorous with throat and breast !!

Many thanks for adding to at least my
concept of the Crimson Jewel!

Best rgds. ........... C.

Tak Carsten.
Det var en god følelse at opleve hannen så længe at jeg også kunne nå at forevige den, til senere nydelse.
Glad hilsen
Søs
