Lucky you :-D. I’ve never seen a hummingbird hawkmoth but a while ago a neighbour called me across to look at a pink and green moth on his fuschia. When I googled it was an elephant hawkmoth. Very pretty.

We usually get the hummingbird hawks a couple of times a year.

I have seen an elephant hawk, a poplar and I think it was a hawthorn or something hawk. There have been one or two Jersey tigers in the last few years too.

We are very close to a nature reserve and south opposite the mouth of the Seine.so it is probably easier for them to get here than to get off up the East coast.

They drill holes in the exhaust often....says it makes it safer as drivers can hear them...yeah right.

Trouble with that bike it won't be insured...let's hope they don't hit anyone or anything..
