Allen's Hummingbird

This is one tiny bird. Not really sure if there's such a thing as hummingbird in M'sia.
The male hummie has a colorful thing calls gorget around its chin/throat that makes it very interesting.

Tq leh.. It's a water fountain so not 100% natural after all (man-made...).

Bring your gears here bro - I'll make sure you have lots of shots on this guy but this place has tons of mosquitoes so make sure to bring Fumakila along with you....

Thanks bro. Will make sure to put on tripod instead of handheld next time so that you can count better...

Here's another shot but this one is Anna's Hummingbird (male) instead of Allen's.
Taken at the same place.
