A male sunbird perched on the flowerhead of a Scarlet Cordia Tree with his wings fanned out and the feathers shimmering against the blue sky in Dubai

A male Purple Sunbird (Cinnyris-asiaticus) perched delicately on the orange flowerhead of a Scarlet Cordia Tree. It was about to sip nectar when I captured it with its wings fanned out and its blue-green feathers shimmering brightly against the blue sky.
