Purple Rumped Sunbird

Shot yesterday on my neighbour's drumstick tree.

This female was savoring the nectar of flowers on my neighbour's gold mohur tree.

Here is the answer to SF quiz. She was quite co-operative & showed me the better side of her ultimately.

On the clothing line in my house compound.

Shot this from a long distance & cropped.The nest building activity was in no way hindered by my presence as you can see. I just marvel at the material used for nest building; cobwebs, lichens anything from dry leaves/twigs; paper/polythene rags etc goes into it!

Shot on the fence across the road in front of my house.

Shot on acacia hedge right opposite my house.

Too frisky for my liking. Tried my patience quite a bit before I managed to get a shot.
