The fork-tailed sunbird is usually found in subtropical or tropical forests. The male has metallic-green crown and dark crimson throat, while the female has grey crown. The bird makes high-pitched noises and is often seen looking for food among flowers.
Here are some photos of the fork-tailed sunbird clicked by photographer Lin Ge in the Bawangling National Nature Reserve, China's southern island province of Hainan.
