Lazy Sunday Photo- It has been raining Sunbirds too!

Posted on September 5, 2010

I am in no hurry!

It has been raining sunbirds these days. Every time I  go to the backyard, there they are, having a good time in the Malti flowers. And then they sometimes go on the fence as well that our neighbors have put on the wall. This one let me take at least 50 shots. And then I decided to leave, the bird was still there.

The other thing that I have noticed is that they suck the nectar from the stem side of the flower and not from the flower itself.

    So sorry to hear that Lakshmi.

    Thanks Tarun.

    Ramesh, I have no clue how to go about it. And a Google image search on the topics that I click is usually very sobering experience!

    Thanks Chitra.

    Thanks SM.

    Thanks Dave, but what should I do to improve?

    Thank you Rajshree.
