Stoke Goldington: Hot on the heels of yesterday's Convolvulus Hawk-moth is this battered old Small Elephant. I've never had one this late before. Amazing how it can still fly!
That is a late record. I've had four or five sightings during August, some weeks after the last one in its normal flight period, which I thought might be an attempt at a second brood, but never one this late. It certainly goes on flying in mainland Europe well into September.
