I went to Ecuador and went Hummingbird Hunting - it wasn't difficult in the reserves, they are attracted to the colour red and so feeders were put out - with bright red openings for them.
One of my favourite pictures ever taken is of a racquet tail hummingbird, complete with white booties.
In tenerife recently, I was confused by a bug I saw - behaving like a hummingbird. It turned out to be a hummingbird hawk moth. Weirdest creature going!
