orange-breasted sunbird

much less common than the double-collared, these beauties were very happy that the fynbos bloomed early this year

It's a delight having these little guys in my garden ! While sorting out my catalogues I came across this photo i didn't even remember that I had.

We have a lot of beautiful Sunbirds in the garden, and these little chaps are just gorgeous ! "The Orange-breasted Sunbird (Anthobaphes violacea) is the only member of the bird genus Anthobaphes, however it is sometimes placed in the genus Nectarinia. This sunbird is endemic to the fynbos...

This one was photographed in the Hottentots Holland area of South Africa.

The take-off not captured perfectly yet, but I'll try again next time.
