The Birds of a Terrace - # 10.63 - Purple Sunbird (Nectarinia asiatica) - 2024-062

[Anand Arya]

Please Welcome me back after playing Truant for over 3 Months
now - for no apparent reason that being what I am.

There are now 15 Flowers of Aloe Vera and most are now have
Open Florets at my Terrace.

Been waiting for the Sunbirds to partake Nectar
(at last I have learnt to spell it correctly) and for them to pose for
a photo. The Rascal were busy feeding from the Feeder
but would not come to the Florets excepts once or twice
when i was not ready.

This afternoon, just as I came up after Lunch and
thought of Sunning, this Sunbird reaching itsalmost full plumage
was there and Lo and Behold I was fast enough to catch a
few Frames.

The Flowering is late this year - normally, I would
see these coming up late October or early November.
Enjoy this ‘fresh from the camera’ image.
