Peering

The fledgling purple rumped sunbird peers out of its nest at the world passing by. Loved the architecture of the nest. The window has a cute little roof too!

Recycling

 The purple rumped sunbirds had built a nest in my balcony where an egg was laid that hatched and the hatchling became a fledgling and one fine day flew off under the watchful eye of its parents. Since then they abandoned the nest till a few days back when the female (possibly the same one that was born here) returned and started picking out the choicest pieces of the nest to re use in its new nest elsewhere! Nature never fails to surprise and inspire.

Leap of faith

 The fledgling purple rumped sunbird takes a final look before it takes its leap of faith into the big wide world. Captured this moments before it flew off from its nest in my balcony leaving behind a nest full of memories. Will miss the month long frenzied activity of its parents building the nest, laying and hatching the egg and feeding the hatchling.

Nesting

 The sunbirds have built a nest in my balcony. Now the finishing touches of interior decor of feathering the nest is on. 

Lockdown extended

With humans all locked up, hardly anything to scavenge on now.
