Poplar hawk moth. The strange way of holding the wings, with the hindwings forwards, is distinctive. Lots of them about at the moment, but they are big and spectacular, and just great things. Lovely big pic too.
Brilliant! I'm off to the larder for a bottle now.
Enjoy my brother of the wood :beer::beer:

It was a brilliant day, possibly the highlight of a brilliant week.
Flew 4 birds: the Barn owl (Olivia, pictured), a Harris Hawk called Hope who seemed to like sitting on my hat and being carried rather than flying, a Lanner falcon called midge who nearly took my head off in a steep dive, and a peregrine crossbreed who nearly took my foot off. All gorgeous birds.
Oh, and the falconer was pretty tasty too

Two from me today, because I can't decide which I like best.
A humble creeping thistle flower,
and an equally humble ragwort

I can thoroughly recommend the falconry experience day. Cheaper than many, very personal and individually tailored (no 'corporate, just another paying customer' sensation at all), was really accommodating of my wife having arthritis which limits her ability to walk far or hold heavy birds, and we were expecting just 4 birds, and we actually got to fly/hold 4. Great day.
No affiliation other than being a very happy customer.
aaaaand, back to the pictures...

A couple of Brownies from a fly fishing trip about 4 weeks ago. [Just downloaded piccies from camera] Caught on a DHE, which I tied with green antron to mimic rhyacophila.
This one was caught using a friends brand new rod while he was having a brew on the bank. I reminded him for the rest of the day that I had christened his lovely new rod.
Enjoyable day.
