Hummingbird in flight

The gardens had swarms of hummingbirds that would have impressed even Hitchcock - well, that is an overstatement. Let’s just say there were plenty of them around. It was very cool to hear the hum of the wings of these amazing little birds as they buzzed close enough to your ear to sound like a helicopter. I guess that is why they are called hummingbirds.
