At first we thought it was always the same bird and we called him or her "Flying Saucer". Then one weekend morning I took out my camera and my 70-200 lens and got some really close-up shots. I realized that it was not just one bird but several different little guys that all looked quite different. I counted about 4 or 5 different types, although I did not manage to get good pictures of each of them. They all behave really differently. Some are more relaxed than others.
I still want to go back and spend a bit more time capturing these sweet little birds, but here are a few pictures I took.
It is quite challenging trying to shoot these incredibly agile and fast flyers, so sometimes I found the focus was not spot-on, which is why I want to keep at it.
I had so much fun - these bird pictures really show how gorgeous they are. And while I was waiting I also got a few pictures of our Fuchsias!
