“Coming eyeball to eyeball with a hummingbird on my terrace is as exciting to me as any celebrity I've met as a result of Downton Abbey," said actress Lesley Nicol. And it was comedian Tig Notaro who said, “I love devastating movies, documentaries and hummingbirds... yes, in that order.”

I agree with both of them, though maybe I love documentaries and hummingbirds more than devastating movies. Lucky for us all, David Attenborough loves them too. In HUMMINGBIRDS: JEWELLED MESSENGERS, Attenborough takes us into the remarkable lives of hummingbirds via stunning slow motion photography. Everything about these tiny birds is superbly captivating and extremely beautiful. It's an honor just to watch them, even if only for a brief moment until they flutter on by.
