Wow - that's really surprising! I'd think that the south of Europe would be plenty warm for them. Are there other continents that don't have them?Sadly no. Hummingbirds have never been found in the wild in Europe.
Nowhere but the Americas.Wow - that's really surprising! I'd think that the south of Europe would be plenty warm for them. Are there other continents that don't have them?
Wikipedia says they are only from the Americas. Now, I feel lucky!Wow - that's really surprising! I'd think that the south of Europe would be plenty warm for them. Are there other continents that don't have them?

Add the colo(u)rs - warming up (right now we have here the first serious cold front for the season...)!A truly beautiful photo - subject & background, AlanF!
Great shot! The bird, the colors and detail and even that branch!A bit after sunrise this female American Kestrel started her warmup and stretch for a busy day.

The plot thickens!But there are fossils found in Europe!
Cool shots. So what kind of bird is it?Got lots of abuse for photographing these by birders as it is a red listed bird. They were not disturbed and I just got the shots by walking along a public footpath. Great little birds.

I don't know were you took the photos but in general their population is considered not threatened. In some countries off course they may exist in low numbers and locally considered "threatened".Got lots of abuse for photographing these by birders as it is a red listed bird.

Nice portraits. Great details!Today I went to a local park - mostly for the walk. Met a friend and we seat on a bench to talk. After 5-10 minutes some birds approached (probably thinking we are harmless). Pure birds didn't know we are "armed and dangerous" - both of us were with cameras !
Here are some "portraits" taken from short distances.
