Patience pays off. I sat by the garden for a few mornings with Fuji X-T3 with 56mm lens on a tripod, aimed at the flower. When the hummer came I switched on the camera and used electronic shutter so as not to scare it away.
Sat by the garden in wait, then shot with electronic shutter. Cropped from original. Fuji X-T3 with 56mm lens at 1/500 sec

Good captures. I find photographing hummingbirds virtually impossible for me.

Nice! I'm glad you used a relatively slow shutter speed. I like to see the wing motion in Hummer photos.

Thank you. I used 1/500 sec and was a bit surprised to see some blur in some of the photos, and wonder if it might be a result of “rolling shutter”. I used electronic shutter for silence…

I don't know how far away you were, but I have not found that shutter noise bothers them. I've never used electronic shutter for hummer photos.
