More from the garden


This female Varied Bunting paid a visit to my hummingbird feeder. She's a pretty dull individual, especially compared to the colourful males of this species.


Meanwhile, the Inca Doves have been attracted to the seed and biscuits that I have been throwing down on the patio.


I recently ran out of hummingbird nectar so made some myself. Boil up some water, let it cool and then add sugar (1 part sugar to 4 parts water). Cheap and works a treat, as this Violet-crowned Hummer will verify!
