Fast Visitor Posted by: asymptotia
Video duration: 43 seconds One of my favourite visitors to the garden! Hummingbirds (at least this sort) love Mexican sage. I grow lots of it just to make sure that they come. I think it is often the same bird...they are very territorial. Listen to its distinctive call as it flies off, protesting at the car that disturbed it. Related: hummingbird |
