Yay, some early morning sun.

The birds have not seen the sun for many days.

Delightful to see our little guy taking off here this morning in the sunlight.

One can hear that there is a laugh in their songs, as we had weeks of wet stormy weather. We were worried about the little Southern Double-collared sunbirds, as they are nesting and at some stage during the storms we even had some hail. But thankfully, they built their nest well and I could hear the first peeps of the babies in the nest today.

Beautiful, isn't he? The Southern Double-collared Sunbirds are our smallest sunbirds, but they also have the sweetest song of all the sunbirds.

Now have a look at our guy's lady preening herself here above the nest.

She is a real dainty beauty, and looked so great here on this red Bourgainvillea.

As you can see, there is still a bit of wind around but it is nothing to write home about.

Finally, just a show of our mountains a bit earlier this morning to please your eyes.

As I said, we had some torrid weather recently, and yet these tiny birds have survived with their nest intact. I am now waiting for the predator birds to start appearing and we are keeping an eye on the skies.
Saw one briefly this morning, but I was driving and he was going too fast, but it looked like a Sparrow Hawk.
And so, the fun and the adventures continue.

And That's All Friends!
