Love Them Small Why Not

Small To Some Not To Others

A large butterfly might think it is a small bird, sometimes I really have to look twice is it a bird or a butterfly in the plant, yes some radiant small birds flit around quickly, so do the butterflies chasing around at this time of the year.

Singing star of the garden, never sits still. Well captured, lucky for once after waiting patiently realizing the butterflies, I noticed movement within the tree, wallah a capture perching on branch!

During this hot season birds do stop for a little rest in the shade, another break with one doing just that with 38 deg C soaring heat around midday.

Another photograph of the little white-breasted sunbird in the big tree on the other side of the garden, the scoot around, rest then move quite quickly again!

Sparrows around the home, an international feature they enjoy eating, also allow people within reasonable proximity.

Quite relaxed around humans, and will call at the door when seeds have not been placed on their feeder.

Foraging on the ground the small fire-finch, will always be close to shrubs it can dive into at the slightest sign of anything that moves.

Now we spoke about large and small, here are the small birds visiting at the moment, to us humans small. Look at an ant wrestling a feather, now how big he must think the smallest birds we see are.

Not sure why this ant was doing so much heavy lifting, what the intent was, it simply look comical a feather almost moving on it's own across the cement paving.

That's all for now my Feathered Friends and have a brilliant weekend to one and all!
