After having had this nectar feeder up for about three weeks without any birds, all of a sudden it has come to life. Sorry about the terrible background.

Arguing over landing rights.

The smaller of the two gave up.

One Cape White-eye giving landing instructions to another.

Dark-capped Bulbul has his eye on the target.

Okay, its your turn now.

Another fast fly past to try and scare the weaver away.

Ok, that did not work, lets try from above.

Trying to land while another is still on the feeder.

This seems to have been lots of fun.... ^Q^ ^Q^

Super pics in flight.. \O

I had my first sunbird in my Kempton garden - a white bellied one, but my camera, which is normally set up, was packed away with the renovations.
It is setup now and I am waiting for it's return. lol

One thing I have learnt - take your camera with you wherever you go, even to the toilet. You never know what you might see.

Hope you get some great shots. \O \O
