I’ve just been sent this by my friend who got this photo sent to him, it was taken in York apparently, any ideas? I am new to birding and have no idea. Thanks 😊

This is a Hummingbird. If it was taken in York it's in a cage.

It looks vaguely like a Bahama Woodstar.

Where is York, in the UK? I thought you meant New York at first.

This is in a cage right?

Oh dear, looks like somebody was playing a joke on my friend! It was taken in California not York, UK - I didn’t think it looked like anything I’d ever seen here! Thanks for your replies

Makes sense, I was thinking it looked an awful lot like an Anna's Hummingbird. The tail feathers are shaped correctly for one.

No offence but have you really never heard of hummingbirds before?

Yes I have heard of hummingbirds but as I said I am new to birdwatching and I didn’t know what type of hummingbird it was

Thank you, I knew it was a hummingbird but didn’t know which kind and had a feeling it was a joke that it was seen in York

Yes in the U.K. - someone was playing a trick on my friend

Thank you very much, someone was playing a trick on my friend saying they had seen it in York
