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!

The ant probably might be feeding off the feather but it also looks like it is on a mission to grow muscles.

A blessed Sunday to you

Ant most definitely did not see anything wrong with the workload he tackled here, no idea where he was off to.

!LUV happy Sunday to you too.

[joetunex]

I need the likes of this ant for work to help with heavy lifting.

[joanstewart]

Sounds like your business is thriving with amount of work and places you getting to.

[joetunex]

We get quite busy, it was the same in SA too before the Chinese came to mess with the industry.

[joanstewart]

Much SA manufacturing lost to cheap Chinese imports, now very little left!

They're adorable!

White-bellied sunbird is African/Asian equivalent to hummingbird in America both fill the same niche. Sparrow is large compared to fire finch and sunbird. They are cute and colourful.

I'm totally impressed ma'am @joanstewart I really wanted to snap those little birds that I usually see on our place. But they often ran away when they see me.

[joanstewart]

Small birds are swift in movement escaping from human sight, thanks for visiting and comment. !LUV

A delightful post with beautiful little birdies. 🙂
It is really hot at your end. Mind you, same will be here in summer.
The ant is having a heavy task. How persistent ants can be, bringing objects bigger then themselves.

Have a wonderful weekend, Joan! ❤

The little hummingbirds and sunbirds are small, but are definitely just as interesting as bigger birds. The ant is so funny! I wonder what the feather was used for????
