Hummer

Hummingbird Hawkmoth visited today, hopefully there will be more.
He's about 1 inch long, beats his wings at up to 80/85 times a SECOND and moves very, very quickly. The wind blowing the Buddleia about didn't help...

Thank you all very much. I've had a very brief second visit today & got 4 seconds of useable video. Hopefully I will be able to extract semi-decent stills
