The original shot is much bigger with hundreds of these beauties, had to crop it to show it better:)
Thanks for liking this and yes I still go for travelling, next month back to South-Africa, what about you? xxJen

I reckon this is a pretty good photo, Jen. There's a wonderful array of birds here in a natural setting. The branches provide some excellent leading lines. I particularly like the bird in flight at top left. If I were to be really picky (and don't you just know it - I'm going to be!) I'd want to see the beak of the bird at top right in the frame, and the tail of the bird at bottom left. But how perfect do you want it? I like this one...

What an interesting process dear Jen, I'll take birds over bees any day, I wonder if they eat spiders too...well I can wish can't I? LOL!! I would just go nuts if I were to see birds like this, you captured them well!! I've never seen these birds before and I love that they eat bees...yes!!! I know we need bees too but wish they'd move to another continent...have a great day sweetie...hugs!! :)

So, you have to go back there one day dear Nicki...lolll Which I think you would love to, isnt it;))
Hopefully I will be leaving in 3 weeks again,
just waiting for some reply from overseas, really excited about it!!
Will visit at least Langebaan, have you been there? The Blue Lagoon, just staying for 2 weeks,
but that should be enough until June:)) You didnt tell me when you're leaving, did you?
Thanks for your supporting comment, I know this could be better, not sharp enough, but well cropping doesnt make it really better, just wanted to show you these sweet ones!
Have a jolly nice evening, I really love your 'rups' as we call it, fabulous!!!
Bigs hugs and love, Jenxx
