Hummingbird Hawk Moth

In the garden this afternoon taking some flower images with my Olympus 45mm f1.8 and close up filter when this little fella popped up. I was lucky to get this as it flitted about like greased lightning!! I didn't initially know what it was, but a little googling revealed the answer. A first for me up here, though I don't know if they are more common down south.

That's unusual for a moth shot and I like it. Well done Jack

I used to have these all the time in my garden in Spain, now I am full time in UK (thanks Brexit!). I am seeing them in my garden here in Cornwall.
In fact I saw one today so they must be getting more common as it gets warmer in UK!.
