I was lucky today. Just leaving Kirstenbosch when this little fellow appeared right beside the path, drinking nectar (is it blue?) from some just-opened agapanthus.
The colours are brilliant. He was quite tame - very different from the birds we saw at the top of Nursery Ravine last week, though he could easily have been one of them.
i can only say WOW. incredibly beautiful. it must have been just breathtaking -- astonishing.
ReplyDeleteHe's lovely! Great pictures. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteAaah, Marie-Brilliant! These are the photos I have always wanted to get and never did, even though I had both the agis and the O-B Sunbirds in the garden. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteHe's beautiful. I wish we had birds like that in England.
ReplyDeleteBreath-taking pics. The blurred orangey green background is perfect - well spotted!
ReplyDeleteMagical!
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying catching up on your very interesting SA posts and have to say these photos are so beautiful - the colours and the movement - National Geographic worthy!
