The amazing mating display of the marvellous spatuletail hummingbird has been filmed in full for the first time.
The spatuletail hummingbird is among the most rare and striking of birds.
By using a high speed camera, a BBC natural history film crew was the first to capture the mating sequence in super slow motion.
The crew also filmed a male advertising in front of a female, and solved a mystery of how the male birds make a snapping sound during the display.
The mating display of the marvellous spatuletail hummingbird (Loddigesia mirabilis) is captured for the BBC natural history series Life.
