Hummingbirds are such amazing creatures. No other birds can fly like them; they’re able to fly forwards, backwards and even upside down. Hummingbirds are also the only vertebrae capable of hovering for a period of time during flight.

I have always been amazed by these birds and the speed and energy that they produce, yet still look as though they are gliding gracefully along. This painting was inspired by a school project that my daughter produced on Powerpoint.
