I have seen many of these in the day time when I lived in Borth and only 1 since living in Clarach about 3 mile away, my garden in Borth had a very large flower garden though. I'm amazed you managed to get a shot of it as they move so quickly and the wings are so quick. So well done as I have tried for years and still not got a shot of one yet.

Yep humming bird moth. Watched David told me so, in his video life in the undergrowth

 

[Daftpunk]

That is one weird little creature. The first shot looks like a fish with wings

Hummingbird hawk-moth, to give it its full name.
