70 : Purple Sunbird



Purple Sunbird - Nectarinia asiatica

We have a  few sunbirds on the site now. This is a common UAE birds and you find them around any big blowsy flowers. In the square where I work there are frangipan trees and they are heaving with these Purple Sunbirds just now. I keep thinking I will get a better shot. This for now and the new camera is coming soon !

This was taken at Liwa in the middle of the desert at the Antonara hotel - Qasr al Sarab. So literally an oasis in the desert and there a little jewel thats found its way to the gardens
