This week I have made it a habit to drink my morning tea in the garden and bring my camera to finally capture the many hummingbirds living in my garden.

They are especially active in the morning right after sunrise.
They are called hummingbirds because of the sound their wings make when flying. Their wings beat incredibly fast, 50 to 80 times per second. They can hover mid air and are the only bird that can fly backwards.

However, this doesn’t mean they are easy to shoot. They are tiny little birds that move incredibly fast. Hummingbirds are the smallest birds on the 🌎. These are around 6-8 cm in length. Because of their high energy lifestyle they need to eat a lot of sugar 🍰🍭🍫.

Daily they need to eat more than their own body weight in nectar. They hover in front of a flower and scoop up the nectar with their long and specially adapted tongue (photo 2) We have a few Raspa plants which the hummingbirds love 🤍.

Last week I got to go on heli flight with in Romania! 🇷🇴 🚁

It was super fun and a surprisingly smooth flight. The county is beautiful. We even flew over our camping spot of the night before 😎

Ofcourse this was a great opportunity to have some fun with my camera as well 📷
