Though I am in far away Amreeka, I have not forgotten my little winged friends, who never failed to put up such a wonderful show for me, so I could practice my photographic skills on them. The Sunbirds usually whizzed this way and that daring me to be quick enough to click them, hovered over flowers with fluttering wings and sipped honey with their long beaks. But at times they simply let go and enjoyed. I caught Missus Purple-rumped Sunbird on just one such day, swinging merrily on the garlic vine.
Beautiful, isn’t she?! π
