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!

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.

Purple rumped sunbird

A purple rumped sunbird visited me yesterday,

The purple-rumped sunbird is a sunbird endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. Like other sunbirds, they are small in size, feeding mainly on nectar but sometimes take insects, particularly when feeding young. They can hover for short durations but usually perch to suck nectar from flowers. Wikipedia
