We don't get hummingbirds in the UK. But I saw some on holiday in Costa Rica and they are amazing.

I find it hard to understand how they can eat enough calories to sustain such an incredibly energetic lifestyle.

But, UK has hummingbird hawk-moth which is equally magnificent.

With the right flowers you can have a flutter of hummingbird hawk-moths, creating a similar appearance to the bird.
