I visited what we call the Aloe Farm, a nursery that sells Aloes and photographers are allowed to wander around photographing the Sunbirds that visit the area at this time of year. Sunbirds are very busy birds, not keeping still for a couple of seconds, as they flitter from one aloe to the other. This lady decided to have a scratch, and I noticed every time she did so, she seemed to open her beak. I decided to leave the OOF leaf on the RHS to balance the comp. Taken early morning.

Now I'm busy with work and haven't been able to play much! I think we have our priorities messed up
Very cool looking bird in a killer calling pose Stu and I like the perch and nice details captured. Well done.
Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You. www.davidsalemphotography.com
Nice capture of this little one preening! Great behavioural frame dear Stu, super techs and impeccable PP work, love the colours and detail as well as composition, TFS!
