    The last Andean Emerald picture I'll upload. I like the way we can see that these birds can hold their tail in this way, and also the sense in which the bird is stretching to just reach the flower, almost as if it's worried about getting too close to i.

    This flower was quite curious - a lot of birds seemed to have trouble working out where this Chinese lantern hides the goodies - a lot of them were trying to poke their bills between the green bits and the petals. You can see that this bird is also aiming too high.

    We're back to this species. What I like about this photo is the amount of feather detail that shows quite nicely how individual barbs light up depending on the angle of the light.

    And for today's action shot, this one - one of the rare occasions when an Andean Emerald did something other than fly straight.

    A fairly common hummingbird at Tandayapa is the Andean Emerald. Because it is fairly common, and because most of the time these birds weren't given to the kind of extravagant flight action that I've posted previously we didn't get very excited about them. It just serves to show how spoilt...

    This male was seen at the superb reserve managed by Angel Paz and his brothers on the Eastern slope of the Andes in Ecuador. He sets up Antpittas for his visitors at strict feeding times in the morning then you can relax and watch hummers at his feeders.
