While it fluttered

One frame I had been trying desperately to capture...unfortunately could get a proper one late in the evening hence had to fire in-built flash

Nice prajwal. keep trying. Sunbirds are territorial and hang around their favourite feeding plants, so if you wait around the plants with nectar supply you will get them in good light. How come a top down angle??

Well done Prajwal. Focusing action shots can be a challenge with 55-250mm lens. Keep trying and you'll get better.

Needed a higher shutter speed here. Next time hopefully you be able to capture this in better light.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Roopak Sir and Atul Sir
Well Roopak Sir, I was sitting at the balcony while capturing it, so a top down angle

[Mrudul Godbole]

Quite difficult to get a sunbird in flight. Agree a higher shutter would have been good. The eye is in good focus. A lower angle would have enhanced the image further. Next time you can try to sit near this tree and surely you will get a good photograph. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image Prajwal. Agree with the previous comments. Thanks for sharing.
