RE: The last winter sunset...

Sounds like the cold really dug in, so no wonder the sun will need a bit to warm things up again. Those straw-shaped tongues are wild. Do your sunbirds go for aloes, cape honeysuckle, or red hot pokers, or is there another favorite in your garden? And cheers for the beer.

Yep, agreed and it will take about a week as usual before things will become seriously hot again.
The sunbirds love all of those, and yes, the sunbirds will visit any plants with tubular flowers.
Perfect, thanks for confirming. I’ll plant more cape honeysuckle and let the aloes do their thing, with a small sugar-water backup when blooms dip. Do they care about the feeder mix, or is 1:4 sugar to water fine? And do you see them more at sunrise or after it warms up?
