Have you ever seen a hummingbird with a long beak? Of course! How about one that has a beak and a tongue longer than its body? Let me share with you this image captured by a National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year Contestant, Sanjeev Bhor Here is what he says about the photo: This photograph is taken at Ecuador. It’s very difficult to take sharp photograph of hummingbird when the bird is in action. Light conditions was very bad and to get higher shutter speed I used higher ISO. The sword-billed hummingbird is the only species of bird with a bill longer than the rest of its body. This adaptation is to feed on flowers with long corollas such as Passiflora mixta. The tongue is therefore also unusually long. Amazing isn't? I found this interesting so I might share it with you as well! #Photography
