Via Rockjumper - Worldwide Birding Adventures #wildbird Found in Northeast Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, the Shining Sunbird is a dry country specialist that favours rocky or sandy areas and tree-lined, dry river beds. Like many other sunbird species it also has a particular fancy for the sweet-tasting nectar of flowering aloes, which is what this male bird was busy feeding upon when Markus Lilje snapped this image somewhere in Ethiopia.
