Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-Boore is home to a few Eastern Spinebill. They seem to have flourish in the last few months or so. There are about 4 to 6 individuals calling the park home. Their identifying feature being it’s long bill that curves downwards. The rufous, black and white coat makes it a gorgeous-looking bird indeed.

I captured these photographs on 23 July 2024. They maybe common but decent photographic opportunity is not easy to come by. They are, interestingly, not too worried about approaches from people but they are fast-moving birds.
