Early morning golden hour. The Southern Boubou, a newish resident in my indigenous garden. For 2 years he has been reclusive and shy. But this morning his breakfast was more important and I got to within 6 feet whilst he fed in the indigenous Acacia and Waterberry trees.

Beautiful little guy. Wonderful framing and terrific balance. I like how the gold background accents the bird's colors and doesn't overwhelm.

Very nice, Harvey, and the colors and dof of the background are just lovely.

Pretty little bird and lovely photo. I like the colour coordination of his lower body feathers with the golden foliage. I like the little frame of twigs and branches around him too.
