#Inktober Day 11: Sting
The #BeeHummingbird is the world's smallest bird - so small it's often confused for a bee! 🐝 Tiny busy pollinator.
Drawn with an H pencil and an ink dip pen.

Male Bee Hummingbird hovering in the air, showing off his iridescent red head feathers shimming in the sun, as he looks for nectar in Southern Cuba. This was an off-the cuff birding photography detour that ended up being one of my favourite bird adventures!
Catching a dream shot! This #BeeHummingbird in Cuba was a 6 hour round trip day trip in the tiniest little taxi, driven by the passion to see the #WorldsSmallestBird 😍 Catching birds in flight is one thing, but catching hummingbirds in flight is another! #birdsoftheworld #birdphotography #birding
Blue irredescent female Been Hummingbird hovering in the air with her wings outstretched as she heads for nectar with the sun shinning on her back in Southern Cuba. A truly remarkable and challenging photo to capture given how quickly they move. The body of the bird is in perfect focus while there is a little bit of movement on the wings with a blurred background, but overall the photo is stunning giving birders and bird watchers alike a beautiful photo to admire.
Happy #WingWednesday with the #BeeHummingbird in #Cuba 😍 Hummingbirds by themselves are quite difficult to capture, but add that difficulty to the smallest birds in the world, only about 6cm tall! This is the female heading for some nectar 😍

That was this one for me, I never thought I’d catch a hummingbird in flight and in focus!! #beehummingbird #birds #cubanbirds
Shake off the winter blues! As we freeze our buns off in Canada, Cuba is showing its true colours with the Worlds Smallest Bird, the Bee Hummingbird. What’s the smallest bird you’ve photographed?
