More Hummingbird Hawk-moth action at Jubilee Campus Nottingham 1 of 3

#NUJCWildlife #HummingbirdHawkMoth #MacroglossumStellatarum

Hummingbird Hawkmoth is a fast flying moth & hard to photograph. I saw one yesterday, but had just filled the SD card of the camera set-up for speed. I managed to get some photos, showing some detail: wings are blurred because they beat so fast. An annual immigrant to Britain

#OpenStreetMap link is that my previous photos were taken in Austria just prior to SotM-EU in 2011, and in the Luberon just after SotM-FR 2017

Some pictures from today's excursion to Chalkidiki with @vivia. The weather was not good at all, it was windy and rainy, but we still saw some nice things.

The pictures are featuring a hummingbird hawk moth in-flight and drinking the nectar of a rosemary plant, a colorful male and female peacock and the stormy sea.

Some pictures from today's walk with @vivia. Again a nice spring day.

This time featuring: a group of 15 or so starlings on a ship's mast, a hummingbird hawk-moth sunbathing on some bricks (unfortunately I didn't catch it on a picture while flying around), some nice almond blossoms in full bloom, and a ring-necked parakeet on a tree's trunk with a hole that looked like it was preparing a nest.

Damit wir alle was haben worauf wir uns im nächsten Sommer freuen können. Viele kennen das #Taubenschwänzchen (Macroglossum stellatarum) nur im Flug, anbei auch ein Sitzbild

More photos from my most recent visit to Vogelpark Steinen. Such a great opportunity to get some more artsy shots you normally wouldn't get in the wild!

Also included one impostor...
