Vigors's sunbird, Betalbatim, Goa


There are several species of sunbird in India and I've already seen a few of them, but this was a new one for me, Vigors's sunbird, which is not found in the areas which I have been to in Kerela. This used to be a race of crimson sunbird but it's another fairly recent split and the two species are separated amongst other things by range. We have a pair just down the road from our hotel, a really beautiful bird. 







Other sunbirds here include purple sunbird.
