Wildlife in a Suburban Garden

This little beauty was in the garden first thing this morning, a Southern Double – collared Sunbird, a male but not in full colour.

Today was a day of amazing coincidences and real sadness. I had a message to say that Mick, my friend from my Royal Yacht days had passed away this morning, how awful that is and it has  put a massive damper on my day of course.  He was a great bloke and a character who was loved by everyone who knew him.  Everything else seems a bit pathetic and unimportant now.
