If you go birding in the morning (especially if it rained the night before), you'll find them like these in the morning.
They are not really bothered when they are sunning themselves.
I think it because they find it difficult to fly with wet feathers.

nice capture. I still have not got a good shots of this fella yet.

Good job here. yeah, quite hard to see them in the open.

Are you sure, it was shot practically at your backyard wor...

I just notice on the second pic. there's a tebuan (hornet) in front and the bird is yelling "Go away!!!"

Yup .
It was actually quite funny as the bird was hissing at the bee to go away for a minute or so.
