Nectar Bird in Flowering African Tulip Tree.
African Tulip Trees (Spathodia Campanulata) flower in Zimbabwe for most of the month of March. A magnificent tree is situated beside the road near my home on top of Murambi Heights. While taking some close-ups of the flowers in the canopy, a nectar bird alighted and foraged among some full blooms on top.
