I see purple sunbirds almost everyday.
It is another matter that I have yet to manage a decent picture.
I thought I will post some of the pictures that have.
Maybe posting these pictures will break the spell! And the next time I will manage a better one.
I haven’t see n this bird but it resembles kingfisher I think…….
Hey, i liked the last two pics….. u are getting better anyway…. i love the way its back shines…i see lots of them too, but have never been able to get a good shot!
and chitra, it is much, much smaller than a kingfisher and much darker too… i m sure there are lots of them in the south too….they are tiny little birds which fly incredibly fast!
Chitra as Anu says this is smaller and all purple.
Anu the last two pics were taken from the closest distance among all.
Beautiful pics Mridula. I have never seen or heard of this bird 🙁 again thanks to the cement world of Mumbai.
The beak seems long and very sharp. Nice shot.
Thank you Megha, reading your comment at the end (hopefully) of a long and tiring day. Just the thing I needed before I hit the bed.
Beautiful series, I always admire these kind of photos coz they’re quite hard to photograph.
Dave many thanks, but the kind of pictures you take, this is quite ordinary!
Cool! I just posted about the Purple Sunbird too over at The Urban Gardener. I wish I’d seen your post before i published mine. Your photos of the Purple Sunbird are way better than mine. Love the last 2 photos!
Sunita I guess you do not have much zoom in the camera, that is the only difference. I saw your post.
Gosh! I can see I have missed a lot. Actually I have been travelling a lot and hence, not on internet. Lovely to see your pictures :)))
Thanks Julia. And may you travel more. 😀
They are indeed very difficult to capture..and they fly too fast
Yes Tarun and I see them daily almost and try to capture them.
wow do these birds visit only you? i find the pics so nice !
