Wonderful colors. How far you were from the bird when this image was clicked? I've a 55-300mm lens and even with that I can't get this close.
I'm thinking about buying a point and shoot with huuuuge zoom

Thank you so much, I was about 40 feet away . Did you see my video of the bees nest high in the tree tops that will sell you on one for sure.

40 feet is too damn close. You must have walked like a ghost over this bird for it didn't notice you :D
I am about to see that video.
I am sat on my balcony and he flies through the garden below - these hummingbirds are curious too,they fly right up to me within a few feet really really close and look me in the eye for a few seconds and then fly off again. This happens quite often. It is magical!
