Garden - hummingbird hawkmoth
Often as I drive in the first thing I look at is the valerian to see if it has attracted anything. It did today. Last year a painted lady was in the same spot.

Seawatch - St caths
The weather has flipped from warm and calm to much cooler and windier - and forecast to get stronger. Early doors with strong southerlies I headed for the 'point'. Soon picked up manxies moving east and ended up with 124E/22W. One probable balearic too.
