Walking T

I get more upset these days if I dont walk T then T does - she is getting old and is a little arthritic and sometimes I push her to go on a walk but invariably when we do it is always a smaller or greater walk of discovery. Yesterday was a greater one in my eyes because we came across this. It was lying in the undergrowth and my eye found it because of the colours and it lay still and motionless, so I picked it up thinking it might be injured but sadly it was dead. Isnt it just exquisite and for the twitchers in our midst this is a purple sunbird Nectarinia Asiatica.
