Over Winter, Eastern Spinebills come and hang around my garden. Although there isn’t many flowers one Grevillea has lovely little flowers which the Eastern Spinebills enjoy.
I think this Spinebill wants to be a Hummingbird
Eyes open to make sure of the connection.
Some wing flapping for adjustment.
Keep flapping and contact.
And just as fast………gone

absolutely … did you see my photos of where I’ll park my tiny on wheels?

I have now. Pity about the Macas. Make sure they let you know when they are going to spray the trees with the toxic mix so you can close up and go away for the day. One of the reasons my bestie sold her place.

ouch, the plantation directly next to me is being replaced with a commercial nursery so they are just leaving a row of maccas for privacy but that back area is a huge farm. Really appreciate the warning as I had no idea … do they really need to use poisons?

Oh yes the use all sorts of sprays, insecticides and others. Do some research on chemicals used on maca farms. you’ll be surprised

then maybe it’s a temporary park … I am certainly seeking native growth and a creek but as I’m on wheels this might be a good park until the dream manifests 🙂

That’s a good thought. You can stay as long as you want until you can find somewhere less toxic

I went to bed, almost got up to correct what I said. Ha, hummingbirds flap 60 times per second. 🙂
