The sunbirds have been scarce this year, or I have not been as vigilant.
Here’s a shot from a while back.

Once a regular but now an infrequent visitor. In fact, I have only photographed it twice before, so while not a spectacular bird a real treat to see it all the same.

Watch the Birdy
For some reason the sunbirds have been rather scarce this season. In fact, I have yet to see, let alone photograph a male of either the Amethyst, the White Bellied or the Collared.

Watch the birdy – White Stork
A group of around twenty flew over the property this morning, effortlessly riding thermals while making their way north as part of their annual migration.
It was twenty minutes well spent and worth the slightly stiff neck from looking skyward! In fact they were so high that any decent shots were well nigh impossible for me, even with the camera on full zoom.
But I shall tick it off as another species to grace our spot, and what a treat!

Both male and female were busy this morning gathering what looked like nest material, flitting to and from the neighbour’s garden to ours. Here the Missus takes a few seconds breather on one of the bean poles on the far side of the pond.
