Les jolis oiseaux d'Ouganda - Les Souimangas

Ces oiseaux ravissants et très présents dans les jardins des lodges et les jardins botaniques sont un merveilleux plaisir à photographier et pour peu qu'on ait un peu de temps, ils se posent sur ou virevoltent autour des belles fleurs colorées:

  1. Wonderful set of photos. I saw them in Durban on our last visit, and our friends had a female sitting on eggs while we were there. Apparently all hatched and flew the nest. Keep well, hugs Diane

  4. Hi Noushka,
    I have spent many happy hours watching Sunbirds whilst in Africa as they dart around the flowers, unfortunately this was prior to my interest in photography.
    I can imagine with how they move about, they are not easy to get decent images from so very well done.
    Super set of images.
    All the best, John

  5. Hi Carine,
    It is always a pleasure to observe sunbirds. Although it isn't always easy to photograph them it is certainly worth trying. You managed to "shoot" a beautiful series.
    Greetings, Kees

  8. Bonsoir Noushka,
    Ils sont superbes et très bien mis en valeur par le décor dans lequel ils se promènent!
    Les mâles remportent la palme, bien sûr!
    Belle semaine à toi!

  9. Hello Carine, such amazing little birds with stunning colours. I was able to take captures of a sunbird in Israel two years ago. Male, female and juvenils.

  10. Dearest Noushka,
    Never have seen any Sunbirds and you present here such a magnificent scala of the entire species.
    Love all of their cousins, some are more exotic but no one looks dull.
    Sending you hugs,
    Mariette

  13. What beautiful birds, Noushla. I have never seen anything like them for real. I'm glad that you were patient and captured these colorful photos for those of us far less patient. Have a good one!

  16. Hi Carine. Just catching up after spending 9 days visiting the Isles of Scilly, so sorry for the late visit to your blog.

    Your Sunbird images are fabulous! What a spectacular family of birds. Sadly, I don't suppose that I will ever see one.

    I hope that all is well with you. Take good care. My very best wishes - - - Richard
