Orange-breasted sunbird

I posted this on Flickr yesterday morning and it made it to the Explore page - that was quite a surprise. It was from an early morning walk at Kirstenbosch with Steve. I brought along my 100-400 mm lens to try to capture some bird photos. I am becoming more and more confident with this lens. I've captured some really cool bird images with it during this field season.

Nice of it to pose there for you. It couldn't have picked a better spot. What is the plant? It looks like a protea.

The plant genus is Leucospermum. I'm not sure of the species. It is in the Proteaceae.
