Episode 4 shot at Banda, Sawantwadi brings to you viewers a few of the Sunbird family which weighs between 6 to 12 grams approximately, depending on the type of bird and it's sex. The vibrant metallic colours mixed with bright hues of red, yellow and purple simply enthrall's you. Once again kudos to Les & Verena for sharing with us their special moments while birding, and the detailed narrative of the birds with their raw footage and compilation which summarizes into an interesting, must watch video.

Thanks for ur appreciation Sinclair... yup when you see these birds in the wild your soul gets uplifted. That is the reason why city dwellers should get out more often.... and thus the reason why I make these videos. Our love for nature ❤️ will help others as to what and where are the possibilities😉

Awesome!!! Uncle Leslie and aunty Verena, love watching birds . Bird photography is most difficult but videography is best. I photographed a bird it turned out to be an angry bird. 😂😂😂 love uour videos thank you so much.

[@BirdingWithLez]

An angry bird, you say? Did it demand a better camera or just a snack? 😂 Keep up the great work with your photography! Thanks once again!!! Wondering who this is? Shoba??

[@st9grafik]

Yes, uncle Leslie right. It's me. 😂

[@st9grafik]

The Bird demanded a better camera some high Fanta cameras 😂😂😂🎉 it demands FX with 600 mm zoom lens...etc etc. 😂😂😂 birds not so much keen on snack packet but the monkeys at Panvel snatched the packed but held back it fought back and won. Cooling eating those nuts from the packet and looking at us and enjoying it. 😂😂😂.
