Celtic and the hummingbird Hawk Moth



Celtic get the three points and I get to see a Hummingbird Hawk Moth.

Celtic visited Pittodrie and came away with three points after a hard fought match. Aberdeen played for a draw and it took the introduction of Kenny Miller midway through the second half to change the game. Kenny set up Jan Venegoor of Hesselink's goal, and we won 1-0. Thomas Graveson made his debut and was excellent!

After watching the match on tv, I went out to the garden. I spotted a Hummingbird Hawk Moth feeding on Lavender. Beautiful creature. I could see why some people confuse it with the Humming Bird. Apparently the moth is a migrant to these shores during hot summers. 2000 and 2006 are particularly good years for sightings in Britain. I've never seen one before.
