A Purple Sunbird Nest

Purple Sunbird Nest

There is a purple sunbird nest these days in the backyard. How do I know it is a purple sunbird? Because you look closely you can see the adult bird peeping out. I have not heard any baby birds as of now so probably there are eggs inside the nest. I am not getting to close to it as I do not wish to disturb the bird.

On another my zoom lens now stands repaired. I am waiting to try it out again. I missed it at Mussoorie as on the Camel Back Road I saw a lot of birds but no decent pictures because all I had was a wide angle.
