I finally managed to get a shot of what I think is a female Ruby Throated hummingbird today, I've been trying for about three months! It seems really shy compared to the more common kinds we get here. I had just come back from a surf photo session and was getting the sand out of my camera/lens/bag when I saw it out of the corner of my eye, had to take the shot hand-held as there wasn't time to set the tripod up and in hindsight I wish I'd put the shutter speed up a notch but needs must - I will probably have to wait another three months now to get a better shot!
