Last day on holiday and snapped a good shot of a humming bird. Not easy since they don’t stay still for too long. Amazing how the colours change dramatically based on the angle of the sunlight.
The adult male has a gorget (throat patch) of iridescent ruby red bordered narrowly with velvety black on the upper margin and a forked black tail with a faint violet sheen. The red iridescence is highly directional and appears dull black from many angles.
