The quite tame/habituated Chorister Robin-chats of Nature's Valley (Garden Route, South Africa).
Spent the morning birding with a friend & his 9-year-old nephew, & as luck would have it, the local NGO that I used to work with happened to be mist-netting & banding/ringing birds, so the youngin' got to hold & release a sunbird! Little man was stoked, & we're hoping to make it to the estuary wetland/mudflats this weekend to see some waders.
Also ticked Barn Swallow for the home/garden list, finally! Up to 112 species now.
