Crimson Sunbird (vigorsii) (Aethopyga vigorsii)

This was a nice surprise for me and my wife Vandana as we took a short non-birding family holiday in Goa last week .. seen from our balcony no less. We must take more non-birding holidays if this is anything to go by!

Some more beach-bum bird photos on their way shortly...
