Backyard Birds- Purple Sunbird

Posted on March 5, 2013May 18, 2021

I know it is not a Sunday and it is not a photo day. But this is what happens when I do not travel for nearly two months! I have to keep this blog alive with places and things around me and you have to view them! See it is better for all involve it…

A Purple Sunbird

Posted on February 13, 2012

Just stood in my balcony and clicked a few pictures. I am waiting for it to become March when the Purple Sunbird becomes completely purple. And I am still loving my Canon 75-300 lens.

A Purple Sunbird Nest

Posted on July 9, 2011

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…

Purple Sunbirds on Red Flowers

Purple Sunbird has been a constant on my bird rounds in the neighborhood. I almost always get it these days on the bottle brush trees. I am curious to see if it will become even more purple this Saturday and Sunday. It has been getting darker every week. And I am going out tomorrow, a…

Purple Sunbird in Flight

Posted on January 26, 2011

It is very rare for me to get a complete bird in flight. I often manage to chop off the wings, blur it or do something or the other so that I eventually have to delete that picture. I got it somewhat right this time may be because Purple Sunbird is a very small bird….

Lazy Sunday Photo- Purple Sunbird on Bottle Brush Flowers

Posted on January 9, 2011

Yesterday was a good day. As soon as I started on my bird round I saw a lot of parrots making a huge racket. But they were really far away and I had no way to get closer to them. Then after a while, when I reached my bird lane, I saw this purple sunbird…
