Grate shots Amazing birds so little so fast so difficult to see and so difficult to take a photo.

Great spotting!! These little hummies need a lot of efforts and patience. Good luck for the next try. This was already a great start!

Notice that the beak of the bird is as curved as the Heliconia flower (yellow)
