Small is beautiful!




I feel fascinated by small birds. Often they move about and cannot be seen when they hide in thick foliage. Only when their movements create a flutter of leaves one notices their presence. 

These three birds often visit our garden and make one bush their flight station. 

For some reason, the small birds are better groomed than the big birds. 

They are small and therefore not so visible! But their birdsongs are distinct and musically more tuneful that those of the big birds. 

One other distinct feature of these birds is that they are comfortable by human presence and sometimes frequent such places. Anna tried to make a bird feeder for them, but they do not seem to be fond of them. 

Their feathers which are in different shades of colour stand out! There is an artistic richness to their complexion. 

I look out for them whenever I am outdoor and have a camera with me.
