Unfortunately not as colourful as a Sunbird, but I think still has its merits.
Took this in my back garden which is full of proteas and aloes for the birds.

You lucky bugger - I loved the sunbirds and sugarbirds and to have a backyard full of aloes and proteas would be heaven on a stick

Howard and Rob,
Thanks very much, the flower is a Protea.
Rob,
Our garden was virtually empty when we moved in, but now it is full of our remarkable Western Cape plants
