Humming Bird

Dominica has over 3,000 species of birds and is therefore a bird lovers paradise. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the famous parrot which is part of the national emblem but we did stumble across a beautiful little hummingbird at a roadside viewing point. The little guy was keen on getting nectar from the flowers that were growing amongst the lush grass and luckily kept coming back for more while I had the camera at the ready. Obviously it was a pretty difficult bird to photograph as their wings move at such high speed. If you click on the photo to enlarge it you will notice the beautiful blue crest.
