Barnsley Bird Sightings: One for Mr Gorman

Friday, 21 June 2013

Had this moth inside the house today feeding on (a vase) of Sweet William.

My knowledge of moths streches to Elephant Hawk-Moth - full stop.

Excuse the blurry photo (I do not possess the correct lens), but can you ID it for me Cliff?
