Tri-coloured Munia
Golden hour at the extensive reed beds near the quaint village of Kumbhargaon. A gentle breeze rippled through the tall grasses, making the reed heads sway in rhythmic unison. To the untrained eye, the marshy edges look quiet. But to a patient observer, the reeds come alive with frantic motion as a tiny avian jewel - the Tri-coloured Munia - prepared for its evening routine.

Purple Sunbird
Early mornings over the scrub forests of the Amrabad Tiger Reserve provide a fantastic opportunity to study a tiny bird with iridescent feathers. High on a skeletal branch of a teak tree, a tiny silhouette shakes off the dawn chill. As the first ray of the Telangana sun cuts through the canopy, the drab, dark bird suddenly transforms. It erupts into an electric shimmer of metallic blues, deep purples, and glossy blacks. This is the male Purple Sunbird (Cinnyris asiaticus), a living gemstone of the Indian subcontinent.
From the wild, deciduous expanses of Amrabad to the bustling, urban wetlands of Hyderabad—like Ameenpur Lake and the suburban oasis of Kudikunta Lake—this resilient avian wanderer navigates a changing world. This is the story of its life, its identity, and its struggle against a vanishing landscape.
