Oh Lord, please let it rain!

As the drought worsens and the flowers are dying, this Double Collared Sunbird relies on humans to give it sugar water.

What a lovely little bird and a great capture of it. Fav. When it rains during the day here I start swearing as it ruins my day. I always pray for rain but during the night when I'm asleep.
