Amethyst Sunbird
A surprise visitor to my garden this afternoon, I had never seen one of these before although it is quite common in many sub-Saharan African countries.
I hadn't planned on taking photos today but an all day power cut, a cold house and lots of sunshine outside persuaded me otherwise, so glad!
