Lovely Sunbird
Aethopyga shelleyi
Iwahig, Puerto Princesa, Palawan

This bird was quite close but hiding in a dark place. It probably felt safe because it was quite calm. It gave me time to take a few photos at eye level and take a video.

I heard this bird in Iwahig just as I was leaving the trail. It is a good thing I looked for it because it turned out that it was just beside me.
