Was on my way over the shop just now and spotted a humming bird hawk moth on the flowers that grow on the bank. First of the year.

Good spot William, they've been reported around here for a while, but I've not seen one so far

Nice find William, I haven't see any yet and perhaps only saw one last year

On my way back from the shops this morning, two Hummingbird Hawk Moths on the valerian that grows on a hedge bank. First time seeing two at the same time.

Well done William

We had a Jersey Tiger in the garden (wouldn't wait for a photo...) last week and another on a walk.

The valerian was busy this morning, went over to have a look. Seen four hummingbird hawk moths, and some if not lots of some silvery moths.
