Great photo! Always a pleasure to see the two sex together when they're this different. Had a look at your page, too - very nice.

Great image; these are sweet wee birds & good to see the pair pictured together. Despite cooking in the photohide for 90 minutes at Abuko these birds failed to show for us. A nice image well-taken.

Well done, I've seen these birds at Abuko only once in spite of having been there 4 times over the past few years

Great to see this photo! I just saw a pair of W bluebills for the first time last weekend -- about 25kms from Lome, Togo. I'd birded in the same spot many times in the last 18 months and had never seen them.
