Brown Gerygone (Gerygone mouki), northern race mouki, drops down after a food delivery to chicks in the nest. Wheras the sunbird which has a similar nest pushes back and flies off, this little one (10cm) drops straight down to clear the nest then flies off. That is probably because of the little hood it builds over the side entrance. You can see it decorates the nest with moss and lichens, maybe for camouflage.
