South African land birds

The variety and beauty of land birds in South Africa is astounding. Below is just a small sample of species I managed to photograph. My favourite would have to be the sunbirds with their stunning plumage. The orange-breasted sunbird is one fine example. This species is endemic to the fynbos shrubland of Southwestern South Africa.
