Birding from my terrace

Purple Sunbird in my garden

















This week was quite exciting in terms of sighting birds. Not in terms of sighting uncommon birds though. Typically I only get to see crows and sparrows in my garden so I was elated to spot some other varieties as well.

I was lucky to sight purple sunbirds in my garden, and also a kingfisher, and a black kite near my house. All this from the comfort of my terrace! What fun!

These pictures are not great, I wasn't really prepared for birding, and took these snaps from a 7X camera.

@Thanks so much, Rajesh, Indrani, Ritesh, and mysay.

There is some amount of green in my terrace and our garden, and birds do visit but not as often as I would like them to.

Like your area Ritesh, crows dominate here as always:)
