Pahang - Grey-Breasted Spiderhunter

Spiderhunter, a species that is commonly seen in our lowland forest and in montane the Streaked is usually seen. Today the Grey-Breasted Spiderhunter decided to choose another tree that it usually frequented but nearby its usual tree. This provide us some good opportunity for photography. Though it feed only on nectar, the Spiderhunter name was given after the thought of it feeding on a spider where the some were observed with spider wed and attacking the wed. The spider web was used by the bird basically for nesting. So is the name was given Spiderhunter though it never actually hunt for spider.
