God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Had this little visitor this morning :-) A immature Double collared Sunbird ^Q^

He came right into the house , into the back-door , through the kitchen , down the passage and then into the lounge , where he fluttered around :O^

Sitting on the ceiling-fan

Then to the window , various poses before I could open up and let him out .

Duke, just stunning! Love the see of Red, I remember all the little brown birds late winter down your street, look at them now, a see of red and black! Great pics!

Okie, I still can't get over your little sunbird! I think that is a good sign for more good sighting for you to come!

okie and Duke, thank you for sharing such amazing photographs.

I would go totally bananas if a sunbird came into my house OR I had so many red bishops in my garden.
