CRIMSON IN ACTION

This is a male Crimson Sunbird hovering and sucking nectar from the flowers of bottlebrush tree. It is a colourful bird native to our Cooch Behar. This species can take nectar by hovering like a hummingbird, but usually perch to feed most of the time. I like to click birds which are in some action. This is the unique behavior of this species. I have selected this particular frame for its rich details of eyes, legs, wings, flower petals, clean background and full spread wings.
