There appear to be almost as many different kinds in India, but only a few have wide distribution, and only one of those is in Rajasthan where we spent our time\u2026and, in fact, the second most common sunbird in India looks almost identical, in the males, to the Purple. So Purple it is for Indian Sunbirds. We did see them frequently. This was our first encounter, and closest, at Sultanpur National Park. We have here a male and a female.
