exellent shots rolf, i know what you mean about not staying still. these are far better than my images on an earlier post. (seen in essex) my son tom has seen one up here in preston.
i saw one for the first time in 1994 in majorca. they really do look like humming birds don't they.

I'd like to add my 'great shots' compliment to this trio of images of the HHM Rolf, an impressive creature this moth.

Pete.

Thanks All, just got back from France and unfortunately for most of the 12 days there was no internet access, so have a lot of catching up to do.

Managed to get another couple of shots, but probably not any more detailed than the ones I have, will look through in the morning on a proper sized monitor.

OK, here's a few more shots, shame I can't cut and paste, as there would be every part in focus if I could.

**andy b** · 12-08-2008, 09:45 PM

some absolute crackers there, rolf, i'm impressed

Merlin Regular Member Info Real name: Pete Location: N W England Gallery: 6 Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
