Booted Racket-Tail (Ecuador)

[Glenn Bartley]

I leave tomorrow to lead two workshops in Ecuador and I have to say I can't wait to get back down there. It is such a beautiful country and the birds are INCREDIBLE!

I hope you enjoy this Booted Racket-Tail Hummingbird. See you in a month :)

Have a good trip Glenn. Good looking image.

[Jonathan Ashton]

It's a peach I like the composition and the beautiful colours.

[Tom Rambaut]

Nice image, I do like a picture that shows the subject "doing something".

We have some pretty neat birds here in Australia - but no Hummingbirds. I wish we had them.

[Rohan Kamath]

Superb freeze sir. I LOVED the composition of this image.
