Juveniles all over the place now, and this one is a Malachite Sunbird. The specie name of the Malachite Sunbird is Nectarinia famosa. We have a great fondness of sunbirds, as I have posted them regularly

The little guy is up first, and he already has his dad's twinkling song. Here he was sipping nectar on our Jacob's Ladder plant. We are looking forward to the little sunbird becoming an adult. Hopefully

As usual, we did not expect a visit in this area by this beauty. Even though the visit was spoiled, I managed to get some lovely shots of the visitor. I got one of them when we visited a shore town called

Two lovely ladies decided to put on a show for us. Look how relaxed this one was, as she did a one-legged pose. She is the wife of a Malachite Sunbird, and I didn't expect to find her here. I always cast

I will share some lovely wild birds in a garden here. This youngster is a Southern Double-crossed sunbird (Cinnyris chalebeus). This is one of our favorite places to visit, as then we can sit with our

Come for a short walk, and let's see what we can get on camera. The fist bird that we saw is one of my favorites, the Malachite Sunbird (Nectarinia famosa). We went for a short walk on a farm, and I have

We are now in early winter, and it is also Malachite Sunbird season. The Malachite Sunbirds (Nectarinia famosa) breed during the winter season, so that their youngsters will emerge from the nest during

...and not every day that you will see some weird shots in here. We had this little Southern Double-collared Sunbird (Cinnyris chalybeus) on the water bottle. But don't miss the next 4 photos as they are

This little guy was happily singing away. It is a Southern Double-collared Sunbird (Cinnyris Chalybeus), and the adult birds know how to handle autumn and which flowers still have nectar. We saw traces

I heard the familiar song and looked out the window to the water bottle. So glad to see that the little guy popped in for a drink. It is a Southern Double-collared Sunbird (Cinnyris Chalybeus), and he

First up is one of the new youngsters. It is a Southern Double-collared Sunbird (Cinnyris chalybeus). The southern double-collared sunbird is usually seen singly or in small groups. Its flight is fast

Oh yes, they were big enough now to go and find some husbands. :)) I will also show you a little Cape White Eye, having some snacks. Turns out that the Malachite sunbirds (Nectarinia famosa) were not males,

Not only one sunbird baby, as there were two. And the twins are now out of the nest in the bright sunlight. So yeah, I could hear Mother nature laughing, and all of the birds were also laughing about her

My first time to get a male Malachite sunbird baby in a nest. Just look at that little green head peeping out of the nest. Not easy to get the photos, as not only was the nest well hidden under a big tree,

The flower stem was too thin for him to sit on it. But he wanted to drink the flower's nectar and so he had to hover in the air. This is a Malachite Sunbird (Nectarinia famosa). I am the kind of guy that

I don't know who got the bigger surprise when we saw each other, her or me. For a few seconds we stared at each other, and then she scattered. But she left something behind. The Cape spurfowl or Cape francolin
