Elephant Hawkmoth caterpillar I found a few years ago. Found one the same few days ago on the pavement.

I remember these, a few years ago I had one take a shine to my Fuchsias. Quite large too.

Apparently they like Fuchsias Thorney. Funny caterpillars aren't they?

Awe cute perhaps this might of eaten my fuchsia

These are great! I iove the way they seem to be smiling!

This one was found in my neighbours garden. Her cat wanted to play with it so I bought it home and put it on one of the fuschias

Not seen one for a couple of years..... quite fascinating!

We seem to get quite a few different moths flying at dusk, but we have a few bats flying around as well.

Not seen any bats this year....

We had a couple of years that we didn't see any bats but they are BACK!

They have a wingspan of 6 - 7 cm. Homebird, and they hover as they take the nectar from the flower just like a miniature humming bird.

We have bats in our loft - only discovered them this year. They don't make a mess and are welcome guests. Apparently they only stay over the summer to raise thier baby (they only have one) and go off to hibernate somewhere colder. We have had an educational summer!

Bats are a protected species and it's lovely that we still have some around. We had a bat box on our old house when we used to live down the road. Not really anywhere suitable here to put one up.

We had one in our garden a couple of years ago they are fascinating , Our son went on a Bat environmental programme where he lives in Lancashire . , we use to see them here in Norfolk flying in the light from our window at night but haven't seen any for ages ..
