This is my new account, would love a follow here!! Highspeed capture a hummingbird in mid-flight. High shutter speed freezes the fanned iridescent blue tail and green plumage, perfectly isolated against a soft, creamy background bokeh. #luiscordobapharchive #birds #hummingbird #birdoftheday #eck
Horizontal orientation high-speed wildlife photograph titled "Swallow-tailed Hummingbird in Flight". The image features a vibrant blue and green hummingbird suspended in mid-air with its wings spread vertically and its fan-shaped blue tail fully expanded. Crisp sharpness details the metallic sheen of the plumage and individual tail feathers. The background consists of a smooth, out-of-focus soft green bokeh that isolates the bird in motion. Optimized for hummingbird in flight, high speed bird photography, iridescent plumage, swallow-tailed hummingbird, wildlife macro action, and bird bokeh background indexing

Good morning #Hedgewatch Team. Today is #WorldRiversDay, a day to celebrate and appreciate our rivers and remember how important waterways around the world are to us. Brock and the gang are enjoying a lovely, sunny, autumn day on the River Nip. What are you up to? Help yourself to cake. 😻
A sunny autumnal scene with Brock and Rupert in a boat fishing, Trevor is also on the boat. Maude and Imogen are walking through the grasses along the riverbank.
There are swans and ducks on the river too. A steaming green cream topped hedgewatch mug, served with a fairy cake topped with a swirl of cream frosting, sprinkles and a green heart with the hedgewatch logo on.
