Hello hive friends,, hello everyone,, Hope everyone doing great today where ever part of the world you are right now..

Today, I will be sharing another bird with you. These photos were taken by my wife while she was having lunch at the table outside. She called me and asked me to get the camera because she had spotted a bird flying around the mango tree. She noticed that it seemed to be picking spiders and their webs from the mango leaves. I immediately got the camera and gave it to her so she could take some photos.
The bird she was talking about is a type of sunbird, or “tamsi,” as we call it locally. You can also often see these birds around coconut trees where tuba is being collected, because they like drinking the sweet coconut sap.
The sunbird is very small, almost like a hummingbird, but it has a shorter beak and a slightly plump body. In the past, these birds were quite shy and would quickly fly away whenever people got close. But nowadays, even when you get relatively close to them, they don't seem to fly away immediately.

It was a wonderful opportunity for my wife to capture these little birds while they were busy looking for food among the mango leaves.

While my wife was taking photos of the sunbird, she tried to get a little closer to it. She slowly walked toward the bird, but it probably sensed that someone was approaching and quickly flew farther away.
My wife decided to leave it alone since she had already taken plenty of photos of the sunbird.
