Great capture in such a perching moment.

Thanks.
I wish I had more than the second or two to catch this, then I might have realised that I was cutting off the top of the flower!

Cheers,

We don't have Hummingbirds here, but I understand that they are very small.
The New Holland Honeyeater is similar in size to a House Sparrow, about 17-19 cm in overall length.

Cheers,
Terry

I haven't posted here in a while. Here is an old one, K-50, DA*300+TC which is a great combo that's worked well for me.

I moved to a large town recently and this week started working from home again, turns out I get a front row seat to squirrels despite living on the third floor! K1 with F*300 4.5 taken quickly before a zoom meeting started

These blokes don't spend much time posing...at least not for me.

Great detail Norm.
The second one has a mouth full!
When I was a kid I think I would have had to spit some of that out.
