YI'm loving your hummingbird shots. Really nice. Makes me wish that we had some more exotic looking birds in the UK.
Thanks, MacRy. Glad you are enjoying them. I feel fortunate to have them visiting me daily in the garden this spring. At one point last week, I saw five flitting about at one time. Some of them seem to have migrated on, though.
As Doylem noted (quite poetically), I'm sure there is an abundance of interesting birds and other wildlife waiting to be photographed in the UK. I, for one, would very much like to see a peregrine falcon's stoop. It was my many failed attempts to photograph what I thought was a red-tailed hawk (but which I now believe to have been a Cooper's hawk) in a nearby tree with a 135mm lens that eventually led me back to the hummingbirds.
I hung up a new hummingbird feeder this weekend. The birds haven't taken an interest in it yet.
