I didn't realize that the Hadeda name was changed for some reason to Hadada. In here you will see a hadada family sitting on a tree about 200 yards away (6 shots). Then I also had to employ much patience

Random Saturday shots.
That flower was at a guess about 10-15 meters up in the air. At first, I have a cactus plant, that we think is a Torch Cactus (Echinopsis Trichoncereus spachianus) to show you opposite the road from us.

Two lovely ladies decided to put on a show for us. Look how relaxed this one was, as she did a one-legged pose. She is the wife of a Malachite Sunbird, and I didn't expect to find her here. I always cast
