Male Olive-backed Sunbird (Nectarina jugularis) - This colourful and gregarious species of sunbird is relatively common in South East Asia and down to Northern Australia. The small and hyperactive nectar feeders emerge from the forest to feed on cultivated flowers. The photograph was taken in the Singapore Botanical Gardens by Graeme Guy, with a Canon EOS1D II, 500 mm lens, extension rings, f11, 1/125, ISO 200. Graeme runs a Signal Transduction Laboratory at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in the newly developed Biopolis Complex funded by the Government Agency, A-Star.
