I am the few of the fortunate who occasionally get to see few birds of different variety around my house in Bangalore. I have captured few of them in my camera and here they are. One such beautiful bird is Purple-rumped Sunbird.
They are tiny birds with thin down-curved bills. The males have a dark maroon upperside with a blue-green crown that glistens in some angles. The underparts are whitish with dark throat, maroon breast band and purple/violet patch in the throat which is visible in some angles.
They are endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. They mainly feed on nectar but sometimes take insects.
