Banana-quit, Geelbuikje, Barika Hel, Suikerdiefje

 No bananas today, but the flowers of the Aloe are just as good.

And just like the hummingbird,

also visiting the little white flowers of the plant next to the Katuna.

Banana-quit and Skopet.

A new plant I bought - locally called "Skopet" because of the form of the flowers - immediately attracted the Banana-quit. Of course they had to fight each other in stead of taking turns.

Not only outside ...

Banana-quit built a nest on the kitchen shelf.

Big and Small

Coming home from Chile, where I saw the Condor, I could not resist taking the camera and see if  something was in the air.

The Condor, he was fast!!

The Warawara above my house, is too!

The next morning the little ones were back.
They were all over the Dividivi tree, that is full of seeds.

Later, the Rufous-collared Sparrow came into the house to pick up left overs and to play with its image in the kettle.

Oops, sliding!

Waiting and watching.
