Even with only half breeding plumage he is still beautiful, I love the purple reflections of his feathers. Lovely setting and interesting composition, with just that straight stem as perch of the Sunbird and those two parallel orange flowers. Cheers!

Looks like Marian and me will be fighting after this handsome young man.

Yet another welcome addition to the database.
