Two birds on the same flower!






Two honey sucker birds found the same flower one after the other.

The first three photos are of one bird who took its own tome to feed.

Soon after it left the other bird too came to the same flower. It did not look satisfied after feeding and flew away quickly.

This honey sucker birds are not only small but move their bodies abruptly and continuously. One does not get enough time to notice their richly coloured body.

I am amazed at their swiftness and agility! Their 'athletic' and well kept feathered body is a sight to behold.

It is the movement of leaves in a shrub, which makes us alert about their presence. It is an effort to spot them as they remain often hidden between the leaves.

There is something unique about them- their elegance and swiftness.

I have pictures of other birds of the same family grooming their body with their beeks. The attentiveness with which they do it is fascinating! 

They are small, but there is a lot about them which are admirable.

None of us is too small or ordinary that we do not have any significance! Each of us can make our lives rich by resourcing our lives with what is noble and rich in values! It is is not the attire we wear which makes us special, but the inner character we communicate in easy and difficult times!
