Today I had my first success with this scene. I'm not satisfied at all about the results, so I will try again next weeks. I guess this one doesn´t work because the blurring and pose.... C&C welcomed

Hi Jose You are working hard on these images and I'm sure you will nail one before long !!! Not easy
.... wings a little higher up and slight twist of the head ... and all could happen in a millisecond !!! Looking forward to the next !! btw exp looks good lots of detail on the bird and flowers !!!
Thanks for those wise comments. As you say, I´ll have to practice , practice and practice again. On the other hand I've found very funny to wait standing near the bushes. In fact I´m learning a lot about life in the park, and if you are a good observer you never get tired... Funny this park is about 5 minutes walking from my home, and I had never seen it as a place to go with a camera....
Definately don't get discouraged. I've been trying to get small bird in flight shots for two years now and have only had a couple of marginal sucesses. The behavior here is kinda cool though, I've never seen a Hummingsparrow before :)

Reason: typos
I agree you need lots of practice and patience to capture good bird photos. But when you do get that perfect shot it will all be worth it! Hopefully your next shot will be a winner!
