This Sunbird was evidently transfixed by its own reflection, ‘frozen’ against the car window and allowing me to approach within a few metres.

Now this is simply stunning Don! Such a beauty - no wonder she is fascinated by her own reflection… Irene

Beautiful bird, Don. An interesting opportunity.

Such a beautiful bird, it's not surprising she would be curious about a reflection of her beauty.

Reflections during breeding season are entertaining; had a cardinal that wouldn't leave my truck mirror alone; only fix I found was an opaque plastic bag over the mirror - neat shot!

What a beautiful bird ! We had a bird in our yard infatuated by its reflection in a window which went on for a long time - strange !
