Southern Double-collared Sunbird (Cinnyris chalybeus)

The light was awful, we were walking in the clouds. The camera chose 3200iso to just get something, so I went for the action shot - the bird has already started take off, the next frame shows the legs up and the wings down on this side of the branch.

Great capture and picture of a beautiful bird. I am impressed that you got anything, I would have been shaking so badly from excitement I would have completely missed it. Gorgeous!!!
