Collared Sunbird adult female

We started birding at dawn at the Chundunkwa Lodge. The grounds are extensive running some way along the Zambezi River and there is excellent habitat which includes ponds, thickets, woodlands and grasslands. The birds looked wonderful in the early morning light including this female Collared Sunbird.
