Booted Racket-tail Photography
The Booted Racket-tail, with its improbable trailing streamers & puffed white leg feathers, is one of the most charming hummingbirds a photographer can hope to point a lens at, & NaturesLens builds real opportunities to capture it at close range, hovering & feeding, with time & patience built into the itinerary. Its small size & constant motion make it a genuinely rewarding challenge for anyone wanting to sharpen their skills with fast-moving subjects.
