Although life is sometimes quite monotonous, from time to time we come across meaningful moments that occur once in a lifetime. Rahul was also lucky enough to witness one such rare incident and even managed to capture this moment. Rahul Singh is a very talented wildlife photographer. He has been able to capture so many fascinating photographs of various species of animals.

So far he has photographed animals such as deer, monkeys, elephants, jackals and rhinos. While all these captures are equally beautiful, Rahul’s passion lies in capturing photographs of colorful birds found nesting in his hometown. One day he decided to visit a place that consisted of ornamental banana bushes. Their hope was to photograph sunbirds sucking nectar from banana flowers.

Everything seemed pretty normal until a crimson sunbird began bathing in the water stored inside a banana flower petal. Witnessing this beautiful moment left Rahul in a state of shock. The banana flower is a flower with red petals. The water that had accumulated on one of its petals was due to an early morning drizzle.

Since it was a warm day, the 4-inch-long crimson sunbird decided to take a bath to cool off. All this was after he filled his belly with nectar. The coolness of the water and a full stomach would have definitely allowed him to enjoy a relaxing moment. Although Rahul had been a wildlife photographer for a while, he had never come across anything like this in his life.

It was a once in a lifetime moment. As Rahul was stunned to see the little songbird bathing and displaying this unusual behavior, he kept the shutter button of his camera pressed. Then, this talented photographer posted these photos on his Instagram account.

He was glad he was in the right place at the right time, otherwise it would have been impossible to capture this breathtaking moment. “This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment. It is amazing how nature can surprise us,” Rahul said. If you take a closer look at his captures, you’ll surely understand why he feels this way.
