Many thanks to all of you who commented and voted on the Cape Byron Lighthouse.. it flopped a bit but go figure . It has been printed in two calendars, btw.

____
Here is one of the last critters of the year, one from the mozzie lake ... It is the other type of moth even I can spot, they make a lot of noise Smile
If you get bored with them let me know please.
A Hummingbird hawk moth is doing the rounds, from the side they really look like a humming bird I think.

Three superb captures, Annette, I can never capture them in flight, only when they are resting, and that isn't very often Smile Carol

As soon as I saw it I was thinking. This seems to be a moth but it looks a lot like a hummingbird.
Nicely captured.

Each and every one captured so well, Annette, the body crisp with wing blur which you'd want given the nature of feeding of these moths. V 3's closer crop could well stand in tue V 1 slot but the fuller picture at V 1 is my favourite.

All three are excellent. I've had the pleasure of one of these visiting the pond-side just last year in rather better condtions than 2012 has offered and know their turn of speed!

They're lovely little moths - we get them sometimes here - and I know how fast they zoom around. Well captured Annette with a fine sense of movement!

Sharp parts are super sharp, the rest is---as you --- in motion! the way of the hummingbird moth!

the ones we have do not seem to make a loud noise--- super image!

In response to your comment: yes, a place outside the city, meant for recreation and garden, is called dacha. There this shot was taken, indeed.
Je vous remercie beaucoup!Smile

Wow !!....impressive shot !!.......lovely detail in the moth, yet still retaining wing movement....top notch !!

I've tried to snap these beauties, but no success....they're just too 'flitty' for my reactions !!

Brilliant timing to catch its whirring wings, you get a marvellous feeling of motion looking at these. I did not see a single hummingbird hawkmoth this year, there were quite a few around last autumn
