They are flower peckers, probably Tickell's flower pecker, male and female! They are only about 8cms in length with with an olive brown in complexion on the feathers and body, normally seen in groves, orchards and scrub jungle. It is a restless bird with constant movement that it is nightmare for any photographer to get a good picture. It is bird call chick-chick-chick that alerts one of its presence in the garden. They fly between their hide outs with the bird calls. Even a tracking mode in a telephoto lens does not focus the bird well because of its swift movement.
I like watching these birds because they are small, beautiful, and well groomed all the time. They look elegant and impressive although small and go unnoticed often!
Somehow small things and beings can have a greater significance disproportionate to their size !
