Its taken 2-3 years for the first wildlife to settle in my garden, however, I believe I am blessed this by a group of Elephant Hawkmoths? (Found 4 so far...1 yesterday and 3 today).

    Great photos! I bet they love that fucshia, i read the moths like plants with similar colours to them.

    Thanks for comments. I've been watching, Bob, Nigel, Larry and his twin brother Barry all day from my lounge window image. Boy can they move, though oddly away from the restaurant!
