A first for me

and I excuse the poor quality, but I really wanted it here.

I have seen these little Orange breasted sunbirds once before, but was never able to get any shots!

They are normally hiding in the bushes and are very small and very fast, always on the move.

So beautiful!

[moni kozi]

Oh, this is beautiful!
But didn't you have a photo of a similar bird in a bush with purple flowers? Or maybe it wasn't your photo? Or maybe it was not the same birdie? I remember the artsy gang painting such a birdie... Let me look it up

I think this is a terrific shot especially if they are as elusive as you say. Beautiful color captured here and a nice composition.

@monikozi Impressive memory

@grammyn That is the effect of drawing something. It somehow imprints it into the memory. I am amazed myself.
