Better, but still no cigar

The buddleia immediately outside our kitchen window is still in full bloom, unlike the others in the garden which seem to have suffered in the dry conditions and have gone over very quickly.  We've had visiting Hummingbird Hawk-moths on it every single day this month and you don't have to wait more than ten minutes for one to arrive.  Twice this week we've had three feeding together at the same time so there are obviously quite a few in the local area struggling to find appropriate nectar plants.  I had another go at getting a decent picture this afternoon but the stiff breeze didn't help and the sun was in more than it was out.  The image below will have to do for today!
