Nictitating membrane. The Kingfisher does this as well, a lot of birds do, but hard to get to see it. Well caught in the timing department and its another gorgeous Hummer shot.

All the best Don.

Given the speed of everything else those buggers do, that has to be an insanely lucky capture. lol

You would think so but on this one session (90 shots in a couple of minutes) I actually caught Four blinks....

Having said that I should add I've been shooting these little guys for seven years and this is my first "blink"

I moved from an Olympus E-5 to the Nikon D7100/D800 just before Xmas and I can't tell you's how happy I am with the switch

You're On

Cheers, Don
