Hummingbird Hawk-moth. One of several coming to the Red Valerian around our drive recently. Could have done with a smaller aperture and faster shutter speed than 1/2500” that I’d chosen @bcyorkshire.bsky.social

Could I check these Tom. I took them on 24/12/2023. Are these nacreous?

James Robson @jamesrobson.bsky.social · Mar 29

Thanks Tom. I stand corrected. A bit tricky to capture as I could only look at the phone and see indirectly.

Partial solar eclipse with nacreous clouds this morning
