21:4666963How about this? It's a Privet Hawk-moth, the UK's largest resident moth. My work colleague found it dead in Dover Eastern Docks this afternoon. It's the first one I've ever seen.

21:4866965Bit of a shame that Phil. Perhaps we should lobby DHB for privet hedges.

21:5166966Perhaps each Dover resident could invest in a bush under Charlie's new scheme Sid!

Not a bush but any rock will do.

grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet.

23:1371387I was thinking he would take a car windscreen out !!
Been nice knowing you :)
