Early the previous evening, I saw a Hummingbird Hawk Moth on a patch of Red Valerian in my front garden. It hung around for a couple of minutes, but I didn't manage to get any photos. This morning I've been keeping half an eye on the same group of flowers as Hummingbird Hawk Moths love flowering Red Valerian and move regularly between favourite groups of flowers to feed. I would have been more surprised if I hadn't seen it again, than if I saw it return. They are easily my favourite UK Moth.
