Summer visitor

We are happy to welcome back our friends the humming birds to the garden. They come up every year from Central America cross the Gulf of Mexico and chill out at our feeder to recouperate and stock up before the return journey in September.

We've been getting regular visits now for a fortnight from probably the same couple we had last year. They are simply enchanting as they fly around the garden and often hover as close as a meter away from us, seemingly giving us a better view as a thank you for providing the food.

We will be sorry to see them leave but in the meantime will enjoy their frolicking.
