The hummingbird is a wonder of physiology. This tiny creature is a record breaker on many fronts, from its highly efficient use of food for energy to its impressive annual long-distance migrations. This text introduces the hummingbird and explores its natural history, its essential relationship with plant life, the miracle of its flight, its elaborate social life as well as its nesting behaviour and renowned migratory habits. Features 100 images and freeze-frame in-flight colour photographs.
