Fairy, Ive photographed a page from my bird book to show you what we weren't able do well when the bird was collecting nectar from the Pokers which was being blown about by wind. I should acknowledge the book title and authors to do the right thing. It's Field Guide to the Birds of Australia by Simpson and Day.
Beau - a hoar frost is one that turns all the trees white as well as just the grass - not exactly sure why, but its something to do with moisture in the air. We get lots of ground frosts, but very few of the ones where it makes it look like its been snowing.

Ive repeated one of mine just so that I get the reminders
thanks folks. I always feel uncomfortable using the camera thread because my photos are just snap shots by my iPad mini.
Wow Pat that rose is the most gorgeous colour. Both hellebores are beautifully pure ?
And the frosty pics are quite stunning. What exactly is a hoar frost? ?

Yes - it's the moisture that helps create it. We have plenty of that, although much less than usual this winter - hurray!
Lovely Pat. The beaks are really long and fine aren't they? Perfectly designed for those little tubular flowers. Similar to hummingbirds then?
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Except they need to hang on instead of hovering
. Pretty, aren't they?
That's a beautiful book, Pat.
Not a photo from my garden, but it's filling my kitchen with scent, present from son 1.
I can just imagine the perfume, BL. What a lovely thoughtful gift. I envious.
Lovely roses Pat
BL , I do like Hyathins but o/h can't stand the perfume so don't grow them in doors
Thanks GWRS, I'm glad you like them.
