11 Jun 2006 Stamford Bridge SJ4767 Adult 1 Yesterday (11/06) my wife and I observed a Hummingbird Hawk Moth in our garden in Tarvin. The moth was seen for about 2 - 3 minutes flying around a large Ceanothus bush at about 15.00 in bright sunshine. It was trying to probe the flowers with, it appeared, very little succes and eventually flew off. It did not return after this visit. The moth was watched down at close range (down to 1 metre). Body was chunky and basically grey-brown with darker (black ?) barring to lower body. Wings appeared to be rusty-orange with very quick wing-beats (actually made a whirring sound). Carriage was quite upright (not sure if this is relevant). Probably slightly larger than bumble bees nearby
