                          This fluuered into the conservatory this afternoon, a humming bird hawk moth. Only seen one before and they are quite large this one was a small one, it’s eyes are almost like husky’s big and bright. Took a snap in my makeshift catcher as we are always getting things in from wasps to birds, if we don’t catch them they will die due to heat and inability to find a door or window open.
