Reddish Hermit (Phaethornis ruber)

Today we have a selection of hermits. Hermits are usually tricky to photograph because many species don't come to feeders. Our fabulous garden, however, had many flowering plants as well as feeders and so we also had the opportunity to photograph two species of hermit. This is the smaller one.

That really is a wonderful flight picture Andrea.

An excellent job you've done here lass, and I've now uploaded it to The Opus article.

Many thanks for sharing it with us.
