Preening & Drying 20 Apr 2007


Olive back Sunbird

A series of pixs of an olive back Sunbird preening itself outside my house

All Wet
Checking its chest
Looking left
Looking right
My right wing first
Resting
Looking down
Looking up
Puffing up again
Drying itself












My left wing now
Looking around
Puffing up its chest
Under the armpit again
Last check
Almost dry

When I am dry and clean
Pomelo tree blooming flowers




















A bulbul found a ripe custard apple fruit

Savouring the fruit
