Rufous-tailed Hummingbird

Taken in Costa Rica at a roadside cafe in the wild. Captured on my 500mm lens at 1/250th of a second at 5000 ISO - handheld.
These little beauties flit around so quick, its difficult to focus on them and take some shots. Fantastic to see in the wild and some are really small

Blimey Gasman, what a superb shot. Once again lovely and sharp around the eye and a nice blurred background to make the subject pop out.

Brilliant!

Thanks LD - you know your stuff. Costa Rica is a fabulous place for wildlife and with our guides, we saw over 400 species - not including a three toed Sloth

You really should be proud of that gasman. I know I would be.
