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 :)

Little Sparrowhawk
I have had several fleeting glipses of a Little Sparrowhawk around Emmarentia in the last few days, including one lovely siting with the bird flying right over my head - giving me a clear view of the diagnostic yellow eyes and cere. Unfortunately I never seem to have a camera handy when its around! Never-the-less i'm super excited to have this voracious little predator around :)
