Bird Story - 2 Purple Sunbird

A lazy Sunday afternoon It was a Sunday, yes a Sunday late afternoon. I was on my laptop checking mails as usual and was lazy for a nap too. Suddenly through the window a whistling noise came and it forced to look out of the window glasses. The sky was amazingly beautiful. I put the laptop down. It was time to capture the moments. With the camera held in hand, I came to the balcony to take snaps of the sky and surrounding. The mind became calm with the cold breeze hitting my face, it was not yet raining.

Known as ancient Dirghapura in district Bharatpur of Rajasthan, Deeg became a stronghold of the Jat rulers during 18th -19th cent AD. Deeg is deeply connected with the rise of the Jat peasants under the leadership of Rajaram (AD 1686-88), Bhajja Singh (AD 1688-98) and Chudaman (AD 1695-1721).
