Nile valley Sun bird  I have waited one year to get a decent photo of this little male bird

A nice collection of birds. Is that a canon lens?

That sounds like a great lens Tony and this is a great shot with it. It is always nice to get something new.

wow...what a beauty that sunbird is...worth the wait for a good shot! The other bird is neat, too. You are seeing some great birds since you moved.
