While the Other Little Bird was Asleep
Indian Robin in my Backyard
It was siesta time for Chhavi again today and I was with the camera. I was clicking this Indian Robin in a series of shots from the balcony and the robin was right in front of me. Suddenly I looked to my left and what a delight it was.
Purple Sunbird on a Perch
It was the same perch as yesterday (I clicked the Purple Sunbird for the first time on Saturday), only this perch is a little closer from the balcony. And there it was waiting to be clicked. This time (on Sunday) the purple sunbrid obliged me by letting me click at least 6 shots before it decided enough is enough.
I wonder if I would wait for it on the Monday afternoon will it let me click more shots? But then Monday is a working day!

Nice birding there. Normally by the time I retrieve my camera, it's long flown away :). Lucky you.
Lovely pics. I never knew how to identify an Indian Robin or a Purple Sunbird before. Your blog has helped me to do that. Awesome.
great pics, lucky you! mostly, the birds fly off even before i get my camera :-(
Lovely pics...
That sunbird should flow away, after all he/she was modelling and u were clicking. But no one talked about royaly :P It atleast deserved one worm..:D
PS:First picture is a surely a teaser..
Your high zoom pics have good clarity. Mine being digital camera, I've to reduce resolution to get better zoom and end up getting not so good photos
