    The female was very wary and I had around 3 seconds per visit to get a shot.

    I owe Nev several beers for ID'ing a sunbird nest a few years ago.

    I managed a couple of shots with a fast enough shutter speed to 'freeze' the wings in flight.

    I spotted the male, but it was not possible to get a picture as he doesn't help build the nest. He has been hovering outside both my kitchen windows though, checking on progress.
