Nest of the Purple Sunbird

Cinnyris asiaticus

Habitat:

Beautiful place to build a nest, in my bourgainvillea... Morning sun, against a wall, with a drainage ditch in front of it for protection.

Nopayahnah, yes, very messy, but they are still building, maybe even renovating one from last year! Well see what it's like when they are finished...
