Very agile and hard to capture – its wing movement describes it all. How long it stays still is hard to guess. I think one second without movement should be taken as a treat. However, sometime  your patience may be rewarded.







I captured this little thing when it came foraging for food. The bird can be seen suckling nectar or picking up some sort of fungal growth from citrus plants.
