I just fed a hummingbird right out of my hand! They seemed totally comfortable with me there, I was sitting very still and holding up a little hummingbird feeder, and they flew around investigating me a bit, and then drank from it! You can feel the wingbeats pushing air against your hand while they hover, what an incredible thing to experience!

That's amazing!! They're tiny right? I'm trying to spot the goldcrests (smallest birds in Europe) / firecrests (even cuter, and rarer!) that my app says I can hear in my local woodland, but they're always out of sight so far!
