There is a lot of activity in the Weeping Bottlebrush tree outside my kitchen window. While Weaver Birds are fighting about whose nest is best and who will win the ladies, a Sun Bird is already breeding quietly in a well hidden nest. I just love the little fringe over the entrance!
I have tried to photograph her for a number of days.
Today I was lucky enough to see her leave the nest and settle on a nearby branch.
She sat briefly preening her feathers...
...glanced back at the nest and then took off, returning to the nest about 10 minutes later.
Poor thing - such noisy Weaver neighbours!
