Among all the sunbirds found in these parts of the world they are probably the most colourful. In April-May with their full grown tail is really a treat for the eyes. I climbed more than 8000 ft up to the Himalayas to get some shots of this beauty.

Nikkon D500 + Nikkor 300 mm f/2.8 ( VR-I ) + 1.4X TC

1 / 2000s

f / 5.6

ISO 640

At Focal Length 420 mm

Thanks for the stop.

He He.... that wasn't a trek. It was a car ride and a subsequent stay for three days at that altitude. It's a paradise for the birders if one can go there at the right time.
