Humming Bird Hawk Moth

Humming Bird Hawk Moth
Taken on Skokholm Island. A first for me, so I was dead chuffed to get a few decent shots - not easily though as it flies very fast..!!

It was quite big...........it has a wingspan of around 50-60mm. The flowers are on a Buddleia tree which was immediately outside the cottage we stayed in.

Thanks Ernest...........glad you like it. I'd never seen one before, but I read that they're actually quite common in certain places.
