I so love humming birds, thank you for the link 🙂
You are welcome! It gives me pleasure to know there are followers who benefit from my posts, thanks for letting me know 🙂
I love Humming birds, I just wish we had them here in the UK instead of in special hot houses.. But I have seen them out in the wild when I went to Canada… 🙂
They truly are graceful and so very active, I never knew much about them until that documentary… never knew they were in special hot houses in England either so it’s nice to learn.
It must have been a special encounter to see them free in nature 🙂
Yes several where butterflies are hatched out and people can walk around in tropic like conditions! 🙂 I have visited a few.. as I love Butterflies 🙂 xxx
Must make a nice day out, very soothing…
Yes, very relaxing!
