Good morning Thomas!
We loved being able to see hummingbirds in our garden when we lived in Virginia for 3 yrs in the '70s. The nearest thing we have here are hummingbird hawk moths in our garden shown below. (apologies for amateur mobile phone video!)
Wishing you a lovely weekend, from Jane, U.K.💙

My father was posted to the U.S. from 1972/5 & we lived in a house on a lake in Virginia Beach where we had hummingbirds in the garden which were delightful to see. The nearest thing we have in the U.K. are hummingbird hawk moths. Very amateur video of one in our garden last year below!

Apolgies for somewhat amateur videos - not sure whether they went in two separate posts - still learning!

We have a passion for swifts whose numbers have drastically declined in the U.K. due to lack of nesting sites. We installed 4 swift bricks and all are occupied this year. They'll leave very soon to head back to SW Africa. The same families return for up to 30 yrs! Love from Jane 🥰

Thank you for your lovely message. The hummingbird reminds me of our 3 years living in Virginia in the 1970's and being able to watch them in our garden! The closest we have in the U.K. is the hummingbird hawk moth so sending a video of one in our garden last year! Love from Jane. 🥰
