Mistletoe bird hovering

["Gordon and Pam Cain" <>]

Dear all -

 

My wife and kids were out for a walk today and got photos of a female
mistletoe bird (unless there is something else here in NW Sydney that is
incredibly small and has a red undertail).

 

They say it appeared to hover briefly at times - my wife says it's the
closest thing she's ever seen here to a hummingbird (saw them in the US in
2000 at my mother's house).



My Morcombe just describes the flight as 'direct'.

 

Can anybody elucidate on this matter?

 

Thanks
