We took numerous photos as it flitted around then stopped to sip nectar & to spread its wings in the sun. Beautiful, we are so blessed to see this rare beauty; they are said to only arrive here on the wind from Australia, & do not breed here. This one was in perfect condition, hard to believe that it would have been blown right across the Tasman! I would post photos if I knew how!
