Southern Double-collared Sunbird : Hyperactive
Derek Midgley:
Here we have the male Southern Double-collared Sunbird visiting the same tree as the female. A first for me. However both are so hyperactive and flighty that the photos leave much to be desired. Sharing anyway cause I love sunbirds. The exuberance of thei

Delighted to encounter this beautiful heron in a vineyard. After a few minutes I concluded it was waiting for me to leave its path. So I slowly backed away and it kept walking towards me. Quite awesome when that happens! #greyheron

We walked through a beautiful vineyard to burn off breakfast. Took some time to discover we were being watched very carefully. Perhaps this handsome owl sees itself as the keeper of the vineyard. #spottedeagleowl

Glowing flamingos. Sometimes magic happens just before sunset. #lesserflamingos #birdsofsouthafrica #your_best_birds #eye_for_birds #lesserflamingo

This tiny bird landed in the thick of the reeds on the banks of the wetlands. This wouldn’t be easy to navigate without uncommon superpowers. But for this 8gram beauty, it’s just another place to be free as a #commonwaxbill #birdsofsouthafrica

Breathtaking moment when this huge Grey Heron flew by, then, right here, in front of my lens, flared its magnificent wings and tail feathers, u-turning to land so gracefully. A prey was suspected for it set promptly about hunting. Regrettably none was fou
