Tarique Sani sir .. Do sunbird hunt spiders ?? I thought they just use the spiders web for their nest .. I mean as a nesting material to build ntheir and hold the leaves
Very unusual behavior. I have seen them hovering around the flowers but did not know they also hunt spiders. Did this one catch the spider eventually?
great capture!!

Ashish Murty Sunbirds forage on nectar + insects, chicks I have observed are fed a primary diet of insects
gr8 to know .. i thought how those check were fed without protien.. but could not understand how these long injection like beak with 2 inch tongue can kill a tiny insect.. but a small spider might be a healthy food.. want to see that once
MAST!!
I have also seen them eating ants – the tiny black ones….
Awesome timing!
Amazing capture!
beautiful
Great freezing!
they are our hummingbirds!
Buena composición, estupendo detalle y resultado final!****
