Greater double-collared Sunbird

Male and female - very different
excuse the foliage - having problems getting them to pose for me ..... they tend to hide all the time

Interesting small, maybe minute birds

Thanks Guys

In S African down on the Southern Coast in the Western Cape - just find a bush that they like and wait ..... the problem here is the light .... most of the day it's just too bright and the shadows are really strong ... it is being lucky, finding the right position and hoping the bird comes to you .... cannot complain though as it is mid summer here ..... beautiful weather
