Good morning.

Quick birdie story. Was out topping up our garden fountain and giving the roses a proper drink when i heard a familiar buzz fly by up, around and over. Sure enough a RubyThroated Humming bird dipping in and out of the water spray enjoying his morning bath. In and out of the spray like a honeybee on a flower. Then, a quick stop on a rose bush to preen, fluff and preen some more. The grand finale was a buzz about, in and out of the spray, landing at the very top of the fountain where it bubbles up and out. Mr Hummingbird drank, preened, swam about in the bubbles, then back on the rim to towel off. All very cute and happening just feet from me.

Time to put the hummer feeder up - and more tree trimming.

Happy Thursday.

Lovely! Another bird story! Who’s nest?

Hi Mark.
That must have been wonderful to watch!
Do you have a wildlife camera trap to catch them at the feeders?

I do have a cheap GoPro wannabee that i set up....I’ll have to see.

I love that they don't seem to be afraid of humans.

Yep. And they can bolt off like lightening in a flash. Hummer feeder is now up.

How exciting!!

 

[JoesMum]

Two little beaks on show


It’s really hard to work out how many have hatched so far. At least 3, possibly 4.

My hummers are emptying the feeders like crazy!! I think I need to buy a 3rd one.
I put up one of those baskets with nest making fluff and it so cute seeing them pull from it.

Good luck with your GoPro.

I would like to have Hummings birds in Germany. They are so cute ! I got the picture of the situation you described, Mark. Nature is sometimes, no, often beautiful and makes us wonder or thankful to be a part of it.

The color of the sky is the same as the color of the water ( last picture ). What a beautiful mood the light has created.
