Painted by the glow of the late afternoon sun, the reflective water illuminates a Sombre Greenbul at the garden birdbath.
The glowing light also picks out the colours of the small Cape White-eye in the background.

Thanks Sandra. The Sombre Greenbul has a very attacking style of bathing, and gets very ruffled feathers in the process 🙂

The concentration on task is etched on his little face and the glow of the tiny green bird behind makes for an entrancing composition.

Thanks Osyth. The pale eyes of the Sombre Greenbul, do make it look somewhat intense.
