The Southern double collared Sunbird about to fly away.

I set myself a target of trying to capture a photograph of the Southern double-collared Sunbird and I must have taken over a hundred photos of that very same sunbird. I had been leopard-crawling all over the garden trying to capture it, and as I took the picture it was about to fly away. 
Not more than a day after I sent this picture into the African Birds and Birding, the sunbird flew into our house.
