On a mild January morning, the female Brown-throated Sunbird (Anthreptes malacensis) applies herself diligently to the business of collecting nectar as her mate keeps her company with watchful eyes and chirpy delight. Thus runs the kingdom of the tropical garden, a never-ending kaleidoscope of flora and fauna providing sounds, sights and the odd surprises, as the evidence of God’s work applies itself every minute of the day.
