Hummingbird
Hummingbirds at the Asa Wright Nature Center, Trinidad - Dec 2016
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/syo4
Hummingbirds may be small in stature but they're large in beauty - as these stunning photos reveal. The breathtaking images were taken by Japanese photographer Kunito Imai during a recent visit to Trinidad and Tobago. There are more than 340 species of Hummingbird and they get their name from the sound created by their rapidly beating wings. These can flap on average anything from 50 times to 200 times per second. Because Hummingbirds need to conserve energy they do not spend all day flying. Instead, when not drinking the nectar of flowers, they can be seen perched digesting their food. With patience and precision Kunito was able to photograph a host of brightly coloured hummingbirds going about their daily life at the Asa Wright Nature Center on Trinidad. He comments: ?I live in Japan and photographing the hummingbirds has been one of my longtime dreams. So I decided to visit Trinidad and Tobago which is also known as the land of the hummingbird.
