Hummingbird, Costa Rica
This photo was taken a little while ago in Monte Verde cloud forest, Costa Rica. There is a hummingbird lookout there with sugar feeders for the birds.
The shots were taken on a little IXUS 700, they move so fast it was quite a challenge!! Lots of patients and slow movement allowed me to get right next to the feeders so the birds where really close.
Then it was a case of waiting for them to fly into my view finder
