Olive Sunbird - Cyanomitra olivacea
Another stunning sunbird from the banks of the Umngazi River. This species was also incredibly vocal during our stay and was clearly the arch enemy of the previously posted grey sunbird. They were the source of much photographic entertainment as they battled over the best Strelitzia outposts.
My highlight was watching (for the first time) the male of this species display its very striking, bright yellow pectoral tufts. Pretty awesome (but a pity my photograph was a bit blurry)!
