This is so exciting, I don't think I have ever seen a picture of a Hummingbird that was not drinking nectar. The colours and textures are amazing. I have never seen a real Hummingbird and this gives some concept of the size, they must be very small. Great image

Thanks so much David! They are very tiny, about the size of my thumb and I dont have very big hands. They are also extremely fast as lightening. I was thrilled today to see them finally visiting me. They are so exciting to photograph and to watch zipping around the yard.

Brilliant capture and of such an exquisite hummer! Yes they are sooooooooooo hard to capture! Lucky you to get one to sit!

Yeah capturing them just sitting still surely doesn't come often so I was thrilled to get this big time! Thanks so much for the kind comment and peer rec.

Lovely image, didn't realise they were so small.

They are extremely small, about the size of my thumb, very extremely fast, but they must eat often making the opportunities to capture them pretty great. No doubt fun to capture. Thanks!

Great capture, beautiful hummer, so happy to see on your gallery, are a constant challenge, they are wonderful birds, territorial and master the art of flying!!

Thanks so much no doubt a fun little bitty guy to try and capture well.
