A Spot of Gardening....

With disappointing traps recently, and NFY moths very thin on the ground, I was pleased to record 2 species while gardening this morning (not my favourite hobby).
Yellow shell Camptogramma bilineata, disturbed while dead heading, was shortly followed by Hummingbird Hawk-moth Macroglossum stellatarum, which I did not notice until I was too close to my patch of Red Valerian, and it unfortunately flew off.
