Ruwenzori double-collared sunbird (Cinnyris stuhlmanni) male. This bird is also known as Stuhlmann's sunbird and the greater double-collared sunbird. Like other sunbirds, this bird mostly feeds on nectar from flowers using its long curved beak. It does so either by hovering or perching. Photographed in Nyungwe Forest, Rwanda, a montane rainforest in the south of the country, established as a forest reserve in 1933.
