Welcome guests

Suzi-k and I were sitting of the our front porch this morning painting some bedside cabinets and and discussing the politics of the nation, when suddenly when she was in mid sentence I leapt up and ran into the house for my camera. Fortunately she is very indulgent about some of my foibles, like photographing birds.

With three cats we do not generally get many birds visiting our garden, but this female Greater Double-Collared Sunbird could not resist the flowers this morning.

It had no sooner arrived when a Cape White Eye joined it. They are both very active birds - they do not sit still for a second, but I did manage to get a few shots before they flew off.
