Ooh I would love to see photos of those. Hummingbirds are only seen in aviaries on this side of the Atlantic!
It should be a nice day today, so I can probably manage a few later while I am weeding. We have two different types that show up here every year, although I think that only one type has showed up yet.

Still too cold here for Hummingbirds, we usually see them by May. I believe pretty much just one type visit our feeders, the Ruby Throated ones.... like mine drones, helps, and their great use of Vertical Takeoff and landings.

I saw my first ever woodpecker last week. He was hammering on the old utility pole that brings power to my property. By the time I ran in the house for the camera he was gone.

We have a metal plate around the entrance hole to our nestbox to stop the woodpeckers forcing entry and taking chocks to eat!

She hasn't started shedding her winter coat yet this year. She usually is already looking ragged at this time. The birds are starting to nest though..
Put out my hummingbird feeders yesterday after my husband saw one trying to figure out how to feed from my cars taillight..
Lol. Poor hummingbird. Wouldn't have gotten any joy from your taillight.

Have to go pick up daughter from school. And take out the trash on the way. I threw away quite a few of her “creative” projects, and I don’t want her to see it. The last time I did it and got caught, she said, “You’re not my mom. My mom is fun and she cares about me, and she wouldn’t throw away my things.” :eek: :D
Oh dear.

Good afternoon. I jave been physio/osteo treated.

It bl**dy hurt :( However, I have a lot more movement than I did. Now I must keep moving it so the muscles don't lock. And I have to go back on Wednesday.
Oh shame. But it seems that the pain was worth it, seen as how you have more movement. Good luck for Wednesday.

Good Evening all
Wasn't able to visit today as was busy with work. I have now caught up with all posts. But i need to now say goodnight. Sleep tight and sweet dreams. As tomorrow is going to be more of the same. Oh today i was so glad that I had my camera on the torts as during lunch i had a quick peek at my babies and the youngest was on its back in the water bowl. Thank goodness my son was still on holiday and could run and put it gently the right way up. I have now put stones in the bowl so it isn't as deep for the little one. I hope that nothing happens tomorrow and will probably be peeking often.
