This Purpler umped sunbird wake me up today, waking up hearing chirps of this beautiful bird is so energetic.The purple-rumped sunbird or Leptocoma zeylonica 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. They build a hanging pouch nest made up of cobwebs, lichens and plant material. Males are brightly coloured but females are olive above and yellow to buff below. Males are easily distinguished from the purple sunbird by the light coloured underside while females can be told apart by their whitish throats.

Wire-tailed swallows are generally a fast flyers. But at the time of nesting season we can see them low over ground near water collecting wet mud for their nest. Its an amazing sight observing this tiny and shiny blue bird tirelessly making several rounds to the puddle to collect just the right consistency of wet mud.
