We get them every year when they migrate south—they leave again in April. Lovely creatures!

I wish I could (or knew how to) add a picture. We have gloriously beautiful hummingbirds year ‘round. I love living in nature!

Carol, it's not the cold which keeps them from Europe, there are hummingbirds which live close to the snow line around 4000-5000 meters near the equator, they just don't cross the Atlantic.

They are not always fluttering those wings. I have two that love to take a break on a Casia bush. Adorable!

This is incorrect. Hummingbirds can walk, they just prefer not to. But, you can watch videos of hummingbirds walking on YouTube.

sillybee, Mighty far for a small to minuscle bird to fly :-) Birds like the house sparrow and starlings came to the Americas from Europe, same as humans, after all, and didn't fly :-)

Yknip 7 - Just imagine having hummingbirds in your back garden!! Here, in Northern England, living near the sea, we get sparrows, the odd blackbird (they nest in our ivy in the Spring & unfailingly every year their fledglings are seen off by next door's cat!). If we're lucky we get a robin occasionally! Also, we get some starlings. A marked absence of colour!

Wish they were here in the UK but the average temperature is too cold for them.
