Hummingbird Hawkmoth flew through my garden this morning, pausing to feed on Ivy. Feels like a late record for this species.

The moth boys were busy again at SML on July 25th, adding another 10 species to the list. Best of the bunch – Webb’s Wainscott, a notable B species, which is spreading along the coasts of southern England. It favours fens, marshes, and brackish ditches so not unexpected at SML. #ukmoths #DevonMoths
