Amethyst Sunbird

I normally get a smattering of sunbirds in the garden in February to coincide with the "Cigarette Bush (Cuphea micropetal) blooming. This year they have been late in arriving, so i was very happy to spot this little female in fading light as I got home today :)

    Michael your photographs are amazing! We spotted an Owl in our garden in Emmarentia on Friday 18 March. I think it was a Spotted Eagle Owl - Checkout the really bad photo on my blog:
