That's a wonderful flight picture you've taken of this wee hummer Stanley.

I've added it to the Opus, as we didn't have a male in flight on the article.

Many thanks for sharing it with us my friend.

Marvelous indeed! I wonder if those spatulas help or hinder flight?!

Great bird and super shot Stanley!
