A flower Pecker with a Berry!




A flower pecker has an ultrashort stay in a flower. I noticed the above bird during its fleeting visits to the Hibiscus flowers. 

It appeared one more time with a mouthful of a berry, which it was trying to crush to swallow. 

A bird about 9 cm long, is a bird looking out for, in the gardens. Its movements among leaves and flowers alert us of its presence.  They are small and is not easily noticeable. 

I wish I had a better camera and lens to trace its movements between the flowers. It fluttered above the flowers and seemed to like swinging along the movements of the flower petals. It was like watching a show  of entertainment and display of artistic skills in movements!

A small bird, but with some distinctive features of its own!
