On second thoughts, I don't think it's a Bougainvillea. We call it cups n saucers. I guess i'll have to upload a spotting of the flower too. :D

Not much food for it in there then, it looks an interesting bird - long dark feathers on back of neck and longer beak than 'white eye'

Is that a Bougainvillea it's on?

I guess they come for the nectar. dozens of these birds come everyday to my garden.

Nice pic. I wonder what the bird thinks it will get from those flowers.
