Paradise Fly Catcher
My friend Pat and I have been trying to get a photo of this bird for weeks!
It is a rather flighty little chap and always seems to be partly obscured when perched.
Today it settled briefly in the umKhuhlu tree at the end of my garden - 
I only had time for one shot.
Zoomed to the max, with the focus on the bird not as good as what I would have liked it,
but a pretty picture nonetheless.  It feels like a trophy - can't wait to show Pat!

  1. We have one of two of these coming to our garden Maggie when certain of the aloes or the leonotus is in flower. They give me a real thrill. Great capture.

  2. This is such a magnificent bird. I miss the variety we had in Hluhluwe. Enjoy Maggie.
