Thanks Sheps. Disappointed that it's not a hawk moth, we have had them in our garden this year and previously, taking pollen like the humming birds that we have seen in America.
Ah well, that at least explains why I couldn't find it on Google!
I'm guessing they are probably as common as muck as well!!
The ravens were being more compliant than usual on Sunday. Haven't done any walk photos yet, but I caught these two on one of the little crags near the summit. Bit out of focus I think, unfortunately, but I had to be quick!
They'd found something to pick at under the frozen ground.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Hi Lancs Lass, it's not a Hawk-moth, it's a Angle Shades moth, same as this one

Displaying Pheasant, photographed on my favourite stretch of dry stone wall.
Stunning, Sheps
Thanks both, he did put on quite a show
A posing male Greenfinch...and a very smart looking one too
And a very chubby one too Sheps! Lovely jubbly
Love your pheasant too. He's very smart as well.

They are pretty resourceful aren't they?
I think they get lots of bits and bobs at summit cairns too. All those folk who bring sandwiches and drop pieces....
