    Another Hummer

    Hi All ,
    I was in my kitchen the other morning . Waiting for the kettle to boil and looked down the garden at my Buddleia to see this amazing Moth . I can only recall seeing three of these to date , one in my garden many years ago , again on the Buddleia , and another on the Suffolk coast again some years back . I almost immediately knew what it was , rushed for the camera and changed to a macro lens , legged it down the garden , ang got about twenty odd frames before it disappeared . This was the best one , they are literally like Humming Birds flitting from one small flower to another . Apparently these migrate to here from Europe , how do they make it ?!!!

      They not only fly, but they are "Humming" a little tune all the way here.
