This afternoon, I finally managed to time one of my [infrequent] visits to the canteen with that of a Hummingbird Hawkmoth. The Valerian has sprung up nicely in recent weeks, after all the rain we've had, and I think this is the first 'hummer' of the year to appear in this traditional spot.

Great photo. I heard a report of a hummingbird hawkmoth way back in early April, but nothing since. It's just been too cold and wet!
