Wow - very nice shot of this aptly named bird.

That is quite a long bill to manage, without it getting in the way.

Cheers

They are specialists, focusing on one specific long, tubular flower. Fascinating example of co-evolution.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

It looks delicious, Shalu! You certainly got terrific detail of a bird that presents a real challenge to photographers.

Actually that look pretty cool. What is the bright red reflection a result of?
