Hummingbird Hawk Moth

Post by tony »

1 at 07.15 this morning in my back yard on Pilling Lane, feeding from the wild honeysuckle :D :D
Just shows what can be attracted with selective planting, even in a small yard.

Great sighting Tony.

You know that Peter had one last month ?

I hope one finds my honeysuckle.

Here's another record image of one from Lesvos last year.

Had a text message off my Mum yesterday, saying that she had one in her garden, off Collingwood Road.
