One of my favorite birds on show here in nature.
Marian complains many times, as when I hear the Malachite's call, I follow him all over and unfortunately I can stay away for hours.
But in my defense I say, now who wouldn't follow a bird of this beauty and repute. A single call with a sharp note that immediately raises my ears and I push my plate back on the table, rise and say excuse me for a moment. Then I disappear with my camera and maybe I shouldn't say for a moment anymore, maybe I must say, excuse me for a while hahaha.
Come and look.
Look carefully and you will see the bird here on a pincushion flower.
Lovely metallic colors that blend perfectly into nature.
It is a male Malachite Sunbird (Nectarinia famosa)
A photo that would serve perfectly as a label on any bottled product.
He became restless and I knew that we were going to take a walk.
Then it was into a tree about a mile away, but I followed and got him.
Cleaning and preening after his feed on the flowers.
And finally a stretch before he took off to go and visit his girlfriend.
Oh yes, nature is also filled with other beauties such as this Painted Lady butterfly and flowers.
So I thank you for coming along to follow the Malachite with me this morning and I hope that the crisp mountain air also cleaned your lungs.
Next time I will take you along to see some other beauty and I can guarantee that you will not be dissapointed.
For now I say farewell and may the sun rise on your road.
And That's All Friends.

Ah! I have a friend that understands why Marian has to put my food in a take-away box because I have disappeared hahaha.
Ten thousand horsemen cannot keep me away when I hear that call and I will follow it to the ends of the earth. How's this for dramatic hahaha.
Thank you Lady Joan.

The Malachite is wonderful, he reminds me of a humming bird ♥️ Do you see him often?
Thank you and the Malachite can also hover like a hummingbird, but we have no hummingbirds over here.
Yes, I see the Malachites often, but only on certain farms that we visit.
!BEER
They are special :) I thought only hummingbirds could hover :)
