This was the pivotal moment in his life.
“I went to a location with bushes of these decorative bananas to photograph sunbirds sipping nectar from them.”
“Everything was going as normal when, all at once, the crimson sunbird began bathing in the water contained in a banana blossom petal.”
The flower you see here is called a banana blossom and has gathered morning dew, transforming it into a miniature bathtub
When the little bird saw the petal tub, Rahul decided to make use of it to capture the adorable pictures. Taking a swim in the tub full of petals must have been refreshing. Also, it had only recently finished sating itself on the nectar.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Rahul. That was the first time he had ever seen anything like that and had never seen it before. And We hadn’t either!
“l was so confused to see this wonder behavior that I continued pressing the shutter button on my camera as the bird bathed.”
Rahul described the experience as ” This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” “It never ceases to amaze me how nature can amaze us.” After, The photos were then uploaded to Rahul’s Instagram account.
