Hummingbird Hawk Moth

[Bettenham]

Seen my first Hummingbird Hawk moth 3 evenings ago and it's been back at the same time every day since. What a fantastic moth - but so difficult to photograph!!!

Apparently there's a lot more around this year, BTO report a fourfold increase in sightings

Yes, I've seen far more than ever before. That or there's just the one that's getting about a fair bit.

Not seen one for a few years, but they are amazing!

There is one that visits our buddiela at the moment.
Almost impossible to photograph

Same here, with at least one flitting about. An attempt at videoing it resulted in a moving blur!

We have one who seems to have taken up residence in the conservatory along with a jersey Tiger.
Keep putting them out but they keep coming back in.

Had one in the garden as well last night but couldn’t get a decent video of it.

Lots in the garden over the last few days - managed to get a couple of photos..... they do move fast!
