Yet another agile bird which is daily visitor in our backyard. These birds suck nectar from cashew tree flowers everyday around 10AM. The enjoying part is the bird tweets every time it sucks nectar with joy. I have seen these tiny agile birds umpteen times. Their size and agility is hurdle to capture decent picture of these tiny beautiful birds. The male has colourful plumage relative to female. The male is quite difficult to frame due to dark complexion around the face. The catchlight is visible if there is sufficient sunlight over the face. Most of my pictures are of female since they visit backyard regularly. One fine day, the male perched on a branch in front of me and tweeted. I recognized it and took some shots. The bird was looking at me as if it summoned me to take his picture :-). Within few seconds, the bird flew to higher canopy. Without delay, here are some pictures.
Male first since I have lesser pictures
Here goes plenty of female captures!
