Not a great shot... but thought some may find it of interest. I had to go to town and stay over for one night, and when I came home I found this guy had eaten the baby sunbirds, and was perhaps waiting to catch the mother returning to the nest.

Thanks Mystic.
If I'd been home, I would have removed it before it got the babies... the sunbird mothers make quite a racket whenever a snake comes near.

Thanks Shane.
The adult sunbirds were back checking out the nest again today... perhaps they are planning to try again.

Some, walk in the rain, others, just get wet.

Thanks - glad you enjoyed them. Sunbirds are hard to capture, as they move about all the time... so getting those above was mostly a fluke.

if there is one thing I have learnt in all my vast years (well a few attempts over a couple of days if you wish me to be honest) is that there are no flukes.....good timing and excellent planning probably but no "flukes".....well done!
