Fiery-throated Hummingbird Photography
The Fiery-throated Hummingbird, with its glittering gorget flashing copper, violet and green as it catches the light, is one of the most rewarding subjects on a NaturesLens Costa Rican wildlife holiday, offering photographers the chance to work on fast shutter speeds and flash techniques needed to freeze its rapid wingbeats. Patient work at feeding stations and flowering shrubs gives plenty of opportunity to capture that iridescent throat patch at just the right angle.
