Southern double-collared sunbird

Cinnyris chalybeus

Description:

Strange to see a sunbird sitting on the ground feeding, but it is a semi-desert area and the offerings are slim this time of the year.

Habitat:

In Namaqualand and the Western part of South Africa.

Normally sunbirds feed in flight. Have anybody else seen this behaviour before?
