The last of the hummingbird images

[Wombat]

These hummers are the most colourful.

An interesting thing about the birds is their eyesight. They have the usual RGB sensors the same as us but they also have a fourth sensor in the ultraviolet spectrum. The birds feathers refract the light to give the various colours. I saw some photos of a yellow bird with black shoulders. Under UV the black glowed a bright blue.

Super colourful. #1 the best for me. Would like to see a slightly tighter crop on it.

Real HUM-DINGERS Wombat! The colours are stunning and you captured these very well indeed. Beautifully presented.

Isac,
How do I put or edit comments on the bottom left of the screen?
I have forgotten how I put my camera info there.
