Portrait of a Sipper
Purple-rumped Sunbird, male.

Monsoon has set in. This was made in a very low light. Had to do some shadow recovery, sacrificing some detail in the process...
Location
Coimbatore, South India
Date taken
November 2020
Scientific name
Leptocoma zeylonica
Equipment used
Nikon D7100, Nikkor 500mm
A beautiful bird and a fine well lit and colourfully detailed capture JP, well done.

An excellent capture of this dextrous, wonderfully colourful creature feeding. It may have been taken in low light, but it's a lovely sight.

PS: "Vasudhaiva Kudumbakam" reflects my outlook and I just found this on YouTube. This style of video may not appeal to everyone, but I like it.
