The Window Visitors

Either these birdies know that they get posted online or the area around this office and the climate is really attracting the birds here!! A few more....
The Lunch time Visit! I think this is a bird very similar top common sparrow..


















Can someone please help me identifying this very tiny and a very pretty birdie?

The second one looks a lot like Loten's Sunbird or Long-billed Sunbird, Cinnyris lotenius, or at least a member of that family:

here are some from our subcontinent:

Was it singing? If it does, do record and post that too if it comes again :)

the beaks to short to be an Ibisbill .. and the colors are off by just the crown to be a tailorbird.. but im guessing its a mountain tailorbird...

Hi~ I've only posted 8 times to my blog since 2005, but I just noticed this morning that you left a comment there (unfortunately it doesn't date the comments, but only puts a time. How odd...So I have no idea when you posted that comment! Perhaps long ago...?)! So you went to Cal Poly SLO on an exchange program in architecture ~ that's wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed stumbling onto my blog. One of these days I really hope to develop the habit of posting to it :-) I did, however, add a link this morning on my blog page to my Flickr photos in case you are ever nostalgic for the Central Coast you can have a look....... I haven't really even explored any blogs yet myself. Seems like a whole other interesting world... Are you still in architecture (and are you in India)? We have an architecture firm in Pismo Beach. If you want to have a look at our web site, the link is also now on my blog page. Take care...

@CV and Mukul: Even I thought it was mountain tailor bird, but for the crown. CV, the photo by Aditya.B.V. comes close but not quite! Again the crown. I shall definitely try recording his chirping next time but this fella isn't much vociferous!
@Anon: 'gibberwhit' That's a well coined word and yeah, I have an awfully empty mind!!!
@Flygrl67: Wow even i forgot I wrote a comment at your blog!
@Ketaki: Were they?? Never saw them so properly!!
