Yellow Bellied Sunbird

Went to the zoo today with my children, to get them out of my wife's hair, Freezing cold and windy but I took my camera and found this lovely Sunbird in the Butterfly house.

Yellow Bellied Sunbird (Nectorinia jugularis)

Beautiful bird and a great shot of it Lawrie. Does it eat butterflies? :D

Hi Mitch
Thanks for the comments, and no it does not eat butterflies. it is a nectar eating bird similar to the humming bird
