Description

The beautiful female Malachite Sunbird (Nectarinia famosa) that sparked a new chapter in my life, igniting a passion for the often-overlooked garden life around us. Before this, I had little interest in birds, dismissing them as “just” birds or LBJs. But over a transformative two-month period, I was fortunate to witness the intimate life of this sunbird family.

From her initial inspection of the creeper under my wash line—soon to be her nest site—to the hatching and rearing of two vibrant fledglings, I was captivated. I watched as she and her “knight in green armour” braved cold fronts, predators, and encountered a troop of Chacma Baboons. Sharing in their triumphs and challenges 24/7, I grew deeply attached, celebrating their milestones and feeling their struggles.

This chance encounter shifted my career from advertising to nature photography and inspired me to write my first book, focusing on the beauty of these everyday life forms.
