Humming-bird Hawk-moth

11th August 2006, Friday

Quite few Humming-bird Hawk-moths around at the moment, two were at Ternery Pool feeding on Red Valerian and several were feeding on the Buddleia at Lime Kiln Cottage. This Hawk-moth is mainly an Immigrant and can occur from spring to autumn in most years in varying numbers.
