I have had several Palestinian bloggers reach out to this blog for help with their GoFundMe campaigns in dire need of donations. If you can spare even a few dollars for just one of these campaigns, it could change somebody's whole life. If you can't, please reblog this post and share to people who potentially can.

Variable Sunbird

[reallypheelingit]

Cinnyris really needed new art and I saw a post lamenting the lack of trans bear characters so..I am doing my part C:

He's Florabrisa's local reporter, though most days in my lair are probably slow news days... He doesn't mind too much though!

[scottpartridge]

Another new addition to the AVE, the Wakatobi Sunbird was split from the closely related and widespread Olive Backed Sunbird.

My attemp at painting the Palestine sunbird, the national bird of Palestine

Palestinian Sunbird - Cinnyris osea

In 2015, the Palestinian Authority adopted the species as a national bird, after losing in Israel's national bird public vote in 2008, and after Israel's 2013 campaign to remove "Palestine" from the bird's common name. The specific name osea is derived from Ancient Greek ὁσια (hosia, "holy").

This year's Inktober is about Palestine.

Day 2: the Palestinian sunbird (Cinnyris osea). It has a curved beak because it feeds on flower nectar (but also insects!)

High Noon Fix

We weren’t really expecting to photograph birds but this male and its mate’s loud singing caught our attention.

A slow lens was then on the camera and the set aperture f/8 was where the lens performed best. And given that the sunbird was some 4 metres (about 13 feet) away, isolating the bird was no mean feat.
