Black-rumped Flameback - Colombo, Sri Lanka

I was fortunate to be able to photograph this Black-rumped Flameback at home, in Colombo. The bird was working its way up a tree in the garden and I photographed it from an upstair window. Although Colombo is a bustling city,  it is relatively green and there are a number of birds frequenting gardens throughout the city and its suburbs.

Black-rumped Flameback - Thalangama, Sri Lanka

Black-rumped Flamebacks (Dinopium benghalense) are relatively common in Colombo and its suburbs. I've been able to photograph them at home on numerous occasions. Although I photographed this bird from below, I thought the head position made the composition a bit more interesting.
