I meet two very excited Brown-throated Sunbirds. They are excited not due to me, not about nectar, but because they have a date in the morning.
Birds never date in the moonlight, and candle light dinner never comes to mind.
The male is too excited, and misjudges a landing. A poor little flower fails to hold this heavy excitement, that sees him flapping hard to get himself back in balance.
Do first dates always flop?
He keeps chirping to hide embarrassment. Somehow, she sings like nothing has ever happened.
Love has shut her eyes, but never her day, this lovely day.

Women often make men look foolish. I guess the same thing happens with birds. I hope their first date wasa good one.
How romantic for valentines day ;-). Hope you have a nice day.
First dates never go as planned. Luckily, she was too busy getting ready for her date and we are the only ones who saw his flying misstep.
i can't even remember my first date now but i can't say i am old already because that will make you a century old. lol! enjoy your valentine uncle rainfield! ;)
Oh so sweet.. see even birds get nervous on first dates. Perhaps it's Valentine's Day too. :)

These are beautiful birds! They are just prancing around before getting to their date.

Rainfield, I love your beautiful birds. Great captures. I believe it is a blind date that fails and not always a first date.
Great captures of the sunbird, and male and female at that...

Great capture the male bird missed a heart beat on his first date.
