Just got back from a holiday in KhaoLak Thailand. Been trying to get some good pics of these Olive-backed Sunbirds for a while. These pics are close to alright.

Seeking His Daily Bread

Though not blazing fast, the entry-level Canon RP was nevertheless still quite adequate for some shots of this super active bird foraging among the gingers.

Olive-Backed Sunbird Feeding On Nectar Of Heliconia Flower, Guimbal, Iloilo, 25 August 2022.
Olive-Backed Sunbird Feeding On Nectar Of Heliconia Flower, Guimbal, Iloilo, 25 August 2022.
Digital artwork of an Olive-Backed Sunbird Feeding On Nectar Of Heliconia Flower on a photo taken by Raymond G. Miñoso in Guimbal, Iloilo, on 25 August 2022. These common tiny songbirds in the Philippines and many parts of Asia and Oceania are frequently mistaken as subspecies of hummingbirds. When is a digitally edited photo remains a photo? When does it become digital artwork? Arguments on the…

God i've been agonizing for days about how much détails I should put in this...anyway here's the result of my endeavour to draw Daenerys with a "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" inspiration. 😙
Tumblr media
The front Daenerys is supposed to represent the current Dany (as a teenager in Essos, with her essosi crown with the three drago heads) while the other behind represents her future as the Queen of Westeros with a different crown. They're accompanied by a tiny sunbird (on bird Dany's shoulder), several swallows, a dove & her olive branch, and two dragonflies (I just like drawing them).
I love both Dany & Nausicaa so much, their similarities are everything ; both leaders with controversial & progressive views of the world (and peaceful dispositions), with a magical connection to the world & it's creatures, with the ability to fly in some way ; both the subject of a miracle (surviving the pyre/ being brought back to life = symbolic and literal rebirth), and both connected to a prophecy about the salvation of mankind, which is believed to be about a male hero.
Also the "breaker of chain" title of Dany // the scene where Nausicaa breaks the chains binding princess Lastelle (to give her dignity in death) - I'm obsessed with it (and how sad it is).

Fluffy And Comfortable
Tumblr media
A trapped sunbird surviving the cold in the Flower Dome. Photo credit: Eleanor Chua.
This Olive-backed sunbird that was trapped inside the air-conditioned conservatory was here apparently puffing up and trying to trap pockets of air around its body to keep warm. This was cropped a little to compose in post, about a 90-percent crop of the original.

okay, birds seen at home in june round up! comes to a total of 62 species, which is oddly high for the middle of winter. the highlight was the green twinspot, which i’d only got my first ever sighting of two weeks earlier. presumably it had only found its way to our garden because of the heavy rains and flash floods (and the tornado what the fuck) a few days prior - they’re forest birds, whereas our area is more broad-leaf woodland.
full list and photos under the cut!
bar-throated apalis, black-collared + crested + white-eared barbet, cape batis, dark-capped bulbul, green-backed camaroptera*, yellow-fronted canary, fork-tailed drongo, crowned eagle*, southern black flycatcher, african dusky flycatcher, african paradise flycatcher (odd for this time of year), egyptian goose, gymnogene, southern hadeda, purple-crested loerie. speckled mousebird, black-headed oriole, rose-ringed parakeet*, black-backed puffback, red-capped robin-chat, cape glossy + black-bellied + red-winged starling, collared + greater double-collared + olive + amethyst + white-bellied sunbird, olive + kurrichane thrush, golden-rumped tinkerbarbet, southern black tit, spectacled + village weaver, cape white-eye, cardinal + golden-tailed woodpecker, red-eyed + tambourine* dove, brown-hooded kingfisher, red-backed + bronze mannikin, klaas’s cuckoo*, lesser honeyguide, grey-headed bushshrike*, familiar chat, southern grey-headed sparrow, woolly-necked stork, sombre greenbul*, green woodhoopoe, cape wagtail, southern boubou, black sparrowhawk, african palm swift, green twinspot, black cuckooshrike?, black-headed heron, little sparrowhawk?, pied crow, african goshawk
* = call heard, no visuals, ? = i’m reasonably sure it was that, but not 100%

Another new addition to the AVE, the Wakatobi Sunbird was split from the closely related and widespread Olive Backed Sunbird.
