Lovely! I saw one and a got a couple of bad photos when it arrived in our garden along with 4 Ruby throats in November. Haven't seen one since, though, so lucky you!
 
LOL, Sam!!! It seems we share the love for the Hummingbirds and a reprehensible tendency to be late!!! :'D

Well done finding and photographing this one, Steve, I failed miserably at both in my chance!!! :-C ... ;) :t:
