I thought I was seeing things last year... when what looked like a hummingbird was dipping into some flowers in the garden...
... came home and did a bit of research and it was a hummingbird hawk moth... but I swear it looked just like a little hummingbird.

Have I got this right...you saw a moth the size of a bird?

The size of a hummingbird... kinda! (assuming hummingbirds are really little!)

Don't be daft, feel free to post any lovely nature pics, they make me smile...
I wish I could find a pic that shows just how much like a hummingbird it can look. Its looking very moth like in the pic I posted.

I bombarded the newmark thread with pictures of sea slugs last night (which are also very pretty)... if I carry on like this I'll end up a wildlife forum spammer! (so wrong, on so many levels)

There's a kingfisher that I sometimes see when i'm walking the dog down by the river. It never fails to give an extra lift to the day when I see it. It's like a jewel in flight.
