This brightly coloured little (11cm) bird is a Yellow-Bellied Sunbird. The male has the splendid blue/ black throat patch. Saw these for the first time on Magnetic Island. They kept flashing across the road in front of the car and disappearing into the bushes. Finally I managed to find some that were cooperating. Hope you like them.
