Flameback comes back

A chance meeting when this Flameback revisited after a long time.... there are a bunch of them who were regular visitors but I've not spotted them in a while though I hear them sometimes. Today while waiting for «my» Sunbird to come for his daily portrait session, I heard this Flameback tapping the wood of the tree behind the other window. I was able to get a few nice frames and then it looked at me straight and went on digging for worms in the bark. Meanwhile, the Sunbird was back so I had to leave the Flameback to go get a few pics of buddy...which I will add here later once I've downloaded them from the camera. Pic of the Sunbird uploaded.

The sunbird ( uploaded) is a perfect compostion - so perfect that it is almost surreal . Please send as an attatchment so I can change my desk top from misty skies to a sunny bird - fall is setting in !!
