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.

Kindness - The Theme for CBD Theme Day


 Thank you for being kind enough for consenting to be my partner.

Vibrantly bright green parakeet, frequently found in woodland, parks, gardens, where feeds mainly in trees. Nests in cavities, including holes in buildings. Easily overlooked if quiet, as the bright green plumage blends easily with foliage. Note the very long slender tail, bright red bill; male has narrow black-and-rose neck ring.
