An Oriental White-Eye eyeing its breakfast
We were looking for a rare bird that was seen in the area - but we didn't find it. Instead came across 10-15 of these which flew from nowhere and landed on this berry tree. They were quite energetic and simply had fun with the berries. One berry was good enough for most of them after which they simply had fun. Chasing each other, flying and hiding in the trees, tree-hopping. It was quite fun to watch them. Being a colorful bird, they were easy to sight, but in the thick canopy, I found it hard to get a focus lock. This is a small bird maybe 15-20 cms in height and very agile. There are several pictures from my fellow birders where this bird was caught by a larger predator and hence guess they don't stay anywhere for more than a few seconds. Lucky for me, I got the shot I wanted!
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. But appreciated.
