Hummingbird Hawk Moth

I wasn't intending to post until much later as I'm going out for a walk with my daughter this afternoon but when this photo opportunity presented itself, how could I refuse? :-)
 I was quietly clearing away the breakfast things when I spotted something flying around the buddleia and when I realised what it was I dropped everything (almost literally!!), ran for the camera and moved faster than a speeding bullet (well almost ) out to the garden, fully expecting it to have disappeared before I got there. However, I was in luck today and it stayed for quite a while but it was so windy that the poor thing was being blown all over the place.

Catch you later blip pals  :-))
