[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A Black-throated Sunbird (Aethopyga saturata) from beautiful Ta Nung Valley at Dalat platelau.

Its main habitat is primary forest, heavily disturbed forest and regenerating secondary forest, dense jungle edge, scrub, secondary growth, gardens and along shady streams. At 820–2200 m; down to 305 m in winter.

It feeds on nectar, including that from Aeschynanthus, Rhododendron and Lantana, and perhaps pollen; also arthropods. Forages singly and in pairs, from canopy down to understorey, sometimes on ground. Nectar-robs flowers.

Hello Emin,
There are some birds that make you wonder how they could possibly be so colorful, this particular specimen is one of those birds. The plumage of your Black-throated Sunbird is simply amazing. Nicely photographed and perfectly framed. Great job!!
