My Hummingbirds are home for the Summer :) Last night at 9:30pm Lloyd phoned from Safeway and while he was on the phone, one flew onto the feeder on the porch for the first time. There was a break in the rain. I've been watching the feeders so carefully :)
I thought I had heard a Hummingbird a couple of days ago before the rains started. Now I'm pretty sure I did! I'm so happy to see my little friends back again!
The year before last we had two Hummingirds here. Last year we had five. This year I have 6 feeders hanging. I wonder how many birds we will get.
The pictures are not good. I didn't use my flash as I didn't want to scare the little lady off on her first evening here. The light was poor from the grey skies and I was taking the picture through a window. I'm assuming it was a lady anyway - the light was so poor I couldn't even see clearly to see if it had a Ruby throat! And we had to get Jasper inside at one point because he was hiding beneath the barbecue ready to pounce lol!
At one stage the little Hummer flew down to my flower bed and had a look at my Irises!!! Hopefully I can get some better pictures today now that the rain has stopped and the sun is out again :)
Anyone new to my blog - if you do a search in the top left box for hummingbirds you will find all the pictures I have taken in the last two years of hummingbirds visiting my porch.
