200411 - Male bird at the corridor of my flat. The sunbird has been very active these few days. They claimed territory of our pomegranate plants. If they see any other birds standing on these plants, they will come and chase them away. This bird was concentrating on chasing the bulbul bird and do not know how close I am taking this picture.

200411 - Female bird together with the male chasing the bulbul away at my corridor. We are lucky to have these birds to entertain us during the COVID19 circuit breaker time where we are advise to stay at home. Nice to watch them. Below is the video on how they chase the bulbul away.

Jan 2020 - Spotted this bird just downstairs of the HDB flat

Mar 2020 - A blur chick. Felt so guilty shooting this picture.
Don't know she was playing under my plant when I walked passed. In an attempt to escape, it flew and hit the pillar and fell heavily on the floor. This was her blur, painful and scared moment. She is well and now used to fly to my corridors to chase birds away from our pomegranate plants.

Look at how she hide from me. So cute
