Hi All,

Heres a photo of one of the many humming birds that are flying around my garden. Having never seen them before in the UK I thought that Canada had huge flying bugs when one flew past me as I was hanging out my washing the other day. I was quite relieved when my friend told me that it was a humming bird otherwise I may never have left my house all summer :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyway, not the clearest of pictures. Taken full zoom and on sport mode to try and capture the wings and I had to stand still for ages till the darn thing came out to feed. :lol: :lol:

I guess this is none weather....

Enjoy.
