Sitting in me garden this afternoon, with an almost freakish day's weather for this time of the year (sunshiny and 73F), I was watching the Liverpool match on my iPhone when a hummingbird hawk moth flew over and sat on my hand! He or she glowered at me and I sort of glowered back and I said, "Hello, mate!" It was soon gone (though it did a quick return a minute later).

We've seen a few of them this summer and we saw lots one summer about 25 years ago. Other than that, nothing. So what a treat. Makes life worth living, a thing like that!
