Common Tailor-bird.

The above is a regular visitor to our garden. They flit about and are difficult to photograph. This one literally posed for the photograph taken by me a few days back.

'White-rumped Munia', Kudagama,Sri Lanka

The 'White-rumped Munia' and the 'Scaly-breasted Munia' are often seen together. I took this photo within a few feet of the picture below on a bright sunny day in Kudagama.

Scaly-breasted Munias, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

I saw a flock of 'Scaly-breasted Munias' plucking the ears from some wild grass. I could get quite close to them. Picture4 taken on a Fuji Finepix S 1500.

A 'Hanging parrot', Kaluwandura, Sri Lanka.

'Scarlet minivets' , Kaluwandura, Sri Lanka.

'Scarlet minivets' fly about in groups and are a rare sight. We saw this group at the top of a rubber tree. They were gone in a flash. Charaka Wickremasinghe took this lucky shot on a Fuji Finepix with a 10X zoom, on 4/2/2010.
