Trying to look intimidating, this male broad-tail hummingbird is stretched about as big as can be.
It seems the rufous males have calmed down a bit and are letting the other hummers in on the feeder goodies. Last night there were ten hummers flitting around a six seat feeder. I might be needing to put up another feeder!
My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!

This chap was at the New Forest show demonstrating his wonderful farm machinery, All in perfect working order.
This Aveling & Porter showman's engine was built in 1915, registered OT 4239 and weighs in at 12 tons. It was registered in Portsmouth as a road roller and was converted to showman's style very much later. It is seen here leaving the show field and climbing the cobbled bank near Rowley Station on the Beamish Steam Event cavalcade.

Originally The Grosvernor Cinema - built and owned in 1922 by the most famous Bloxwich resident Pat Collins, Showman, President of the Showman’s Guild, Alderman, Mayor and MP in his lifetime. Pat Collins died in 1943. Between 1935 and 1959 it was known as The Odeon Cinema. In May 1959 it closed and became derelict. It was used for several other businesses, including Flix nightclub. Eventually in 2015 Wetherspoons rebuilt the inside and retained the Art Deco frontage, and named it ‘The Bloxwich Showman’ in honour of Pat Collins. Originally Bloxwich was in Staffordshire, but in the 1970s boundary changes it was in the West Midlands.
