The unusual behavior of a Sultan Tit (Melanochlora sultanea) 20.5 cm

A lone bird broke away from the flock and discovered a bee's nest just below the water gutter of a building. Whilst enjoying it's new found grub it decided to invite the other birds to join in. Unfortunately it's calls fell on deaf ears and none of the other birds came and join the feast. As this event occured during a bird wave it had to reluctantly leave the nest to rejoin the rest or risk being left behind. It was a very interesting observation which lasted for about 4-5 minutes.

Here are a few photos for sharing.
