We have three buddlia - aka butterfly bushes - in the vicinity. One in our garden and another one each in the neighbours' gardens to the left and right. Also we have roses and dog roses along each side.

Oh and the dense whirring of wings comes from the fact my Dad spends a fortune on birdseed. I didn't realise (and I bet Mum doesn't) until the prodigious amount he left out/ filled up was gone five days after they left. Okay, it's pretty cheap by the sack, but they get through one a fortnight! I've refilled the grain feeders, but they've had to do without the fat balls. Then again, they've been getting Grandad's leftover bread, and Diz's leftover chicken... Although I can't guarantee a local cat hasn't snarfed that.

How I'd love to be able to get hummingbirds!
