Red and green!
(Bird photographs, 20060125, 2 of 4. "Previous Photograph")
Another one of the birds I photographed on January 25, this bird was only there for a few seconds. One second he was there. The next, he was gone. I've seen him before though so I'll probably see him again. Hopefully, there will be opportunities to get better pictures of him.
Does anybody know his name?
Fork-tailed Sunbird 叉尾太陽鳥
(Aethopyga christinae)
Date: 25 January 2006, Location: Clear Water Bay

Now that I have "The Photographic Guide to the Birds of Hong Kong", it is no longer necessary for readers to help me name the birds I show. However, thank you to everyone who helped me with the names of the birds prior to my book purchase. I truly appreciate the effort.

Hi,
I think that is Humming Bird. Saw a similar photo of this kinds of bird in World Book.
