The Magic of Kale

What???

A hummingbird on the Scarlet Kale planted for seed in the back garden.
The kale does attract the bumble bees but this is something I did not expect.
There are a lot of other plants to feed on but the hummers really like the kale
and I have seen as many as three feeding and fighting over it at the same time.
Now I know to plant more for next year!






Olympus E-3
1/1600s f/4.0 at 200.0mm iso200 full exif

Fantastic image of the hummingbird! I've never seen them feeding on actual plants! Good to know what they like! V

What a lovely shot V
Think I'll try and grow some too - I hate to feed sugar to the hummers.
