Sunbirds of Plettenberg Bay
Plettenberg Bay boasts having a great variety of vegetation types and habitats; this theoretically should mean that there would also be a large variety of bird life. There are currently 7 different species of Sunbirds that one needs to look out for.
Some sunbirds prefer the Forests such as Collared Sunbirds, while some prefer the Fynbos vegetation, such as Orange-Breasted and Southern Double Collared Sunbirds. While Greater Double-collared and Amethyst Sunbirds can be seen in your garden.
Keep a look out for the Grey Sunbird as this is not such a commonly seen bird and it may be confused with some other female sunbirds species.
Please let me know if you have seen any other sunbirds that I have not included.
