It's very pretty outside, in the early morning ... But look who turned up, at our hummingbird feeder! A flicker! I've never seen this before, and I suspect that once again, there are too many ants in it, despite the little ant moat on the hanging wire, that I thought was stopping them. The really bewildered creature was the Rufous humming bird - Rufouses (notoriously) go buzz buzz buzz, aggressively, like little feathered fighter planes, and chase off all other hummingbirds. This flicker couldn't care at all - just waited until they'd had their fill of sugared ants.
