We have had just a couple of tantalizing glimpses of Hummingbirds this year and are keen to attract more and to encourage them to stay around during the summer.
The feeder is filled with nectar and ready for their visits. They love to feed on flowers really, especially red flowers but if we put those out then the deer will eat them.
So, when we read that they are attracted to droplets of water, David ordered this rather neat solar-powered mini fountain for the bird bath.
As long as there is reasonably strong sunshine it works pretty well - though no new Hummingbird sightings as yet..
