Ruby-Throated Hummingbird

Not a good picture but I rarely get a good one of these tiny birds, and with his red visible, I decided to post it anyway! It was so very windy, and he was a little nervous of the swinging feeder, but did manage to get some good drinks.

I'm envious of your colourful birds, ours seem a bit drab in comparison .Difficult to focus on i expect, did you use a fast shutter speed?

Wow, I have always wanted to see a hummingbird for real. So beautiful :)

I think it's a great picture!

@oldmanofkent Thanks, John! Yes, I did use a fast shutter speed but can't remember exactly what it was!

@mathas They are a beautiful little bird! But a tad difficult to capture in a picture!
