Wonderful shots Bea! Do the hummers stay year round where you are or have they just returned already? Still waiting for ours to return here.

Thank you all :)

Yes. these hummers stay year-round. We have others that migrate through or only live here during the warmer seasons (yes, we have different seasons here ;))

They're all terrific but the shot with the bee is outstanding.

Sweet shots Bea. I have seen a few bee encounters here with my hummers and they definitaly do not like them. I guess when your that small, a bee is a big threat.

We have fuschias in the garden but sadly no hummingbirds, any chance of some exports :D
