Sun Bird in Various Mood

Once you start loving the nature, it becomes a habit and you are tempted to see it more and more and we start enjoying and admiring all its creation. And if you have a camera in hand ...

...then it becomes more tempting to capture those moments and share with others...

So that they can also see the beauty that this lovely nature provides. I was observing few small Sunbirds in a park and one day thought of capturing this small but beautiful bird.

But first some details about Sunbird. These are small birds less than 10 cms in length and mainly feed on Nectar, but at times can feed on insects as well. They resemble a lot with Hummingbirds found in America, and some sunbird species can take nectar by hovering like a hummingbird, but usually perch to feed. They belong to Nectariniidae family.
