This Ostrich pair were ending off their day with a dust bath and a bit of wing fluttering done to impress each other.

A female Malachite sunbird showing the tip of her tongue after drinking from an aloe in my garden. These little birds have set routes that they follow all day long, giving enough time for the plant to reproduce some nectar before stopping back in for the next feed.
