Hummingbird Hawkmoth

This Moth is a migrant from Africa which is found in Britain all summer long.You can see them on sunny and overcast days hovering over such plants as Honeysuckle and Buddleia whilst feeding where they will return to the same flowerbeds at the same time every day. You might hear the audible hum of their wings beating so fast.

These pictures were taken outside our workshop at Penrose
