Sunbirds

Last week I posted several photos of the Greater Double-collared Sunbird. At the same time I was photographing this beautiful bird, there were other sunbirds flitting about and feeding on the nectar-laden blooms as well. 

However, I've not been able to properly identify the other male sunbirds or even the females that were with the Greater Double-collared Sunbird at the time. But I decided to post the females anyway (and two of last week's images again)

  3. They are such beautiful birds. I saw a female on a nest when we were in Natal earlier this year. Sadly I did not get to see the babies hatch but I believe they did very well. Keep well Diane

  4. I'd love a visit to Africa to see those birds! They remind me of our hummingbirds.
