Hilton hawkmoth

We had to go to the Hilton this afternoon to buy air tickets for out ravels next week, and took the opportunity to sit and have a drink and some pizza in the lovely wooded grounds. Helen told me that she had seen some hummingbird hawkmoths so I rushed off to  see if I could photograph them. 

These moths are fast flyers! It was a real challenge to catch one in focus..and I had to crop in close...but I'm quite pleased with the result.
