I had a Hummingbird Hawkmoth in the garden this afternoon. No photo as the camera was in the house.

Saw 2 at Tout Quarry today as well, but not seen the pictures yet...one will probably be pants as was several metres away and I had smaller lens on, but one should be good because it landed not far in front of me, fingers crossed!
