Our Resident Sunbird

[Bobj]

Virtually every morning, this little tacker patrols the bignonia vine at the side of the house, searching for nectar and tiny insects. He and his mate (yes, they mate for life) have nested in and around the house for the past 4 years. Last year, they nested in front of the front door.........well 1.2 metres from it!
Got a pic of him singing in the Tibouchina tree.

What a gorgeous creature, Bob. Thanks for looking after it and not destroying it and its mate's breeding and feeding lot.

Here is a pic of the nest in front of the front door. The sunbird is the male and he is cleaning out the nest.
