Collared Sunbird (Hedydipna collaris)
A tiny nectarivore of the family Nectariniidae, with a short decurved bill and brush-tipped tubular tongue adapted for nectar feeding. Despite this, the species is predominantly insectivorous. Males display glossy green upper parts with a yellow belly and narrow purple breast band; females duller with no breast band.

Ringed by the Nairobi Bird Ringing Group at the Peace Path, National Museums of Kenya, during our weekly ringing sessions.

Bird released safely to the wild after ringing.
