In Carnac, South of France I filmed Hummingbird Hawk Moths laying eggs on small plants growing on sand along the beaches, and I noticed in local French Villages where there was flowers hanging in baskets there were many moths feeding. In my first house in Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh, Hampshire I planted 50 Budlier plants in my garden, for filming butterflies, well one year I had lots of Humming bird Hawk Moths feeding, on the budlier flowers, when the sun went down the moths would rest on the side of the house, as they are a daytime flyer and prefer to fly in sunshine, and they were well camouflaged on the brickwork, where they stayed through the night, this went on for a few weeks. The following year I did not see any, although they do breed in the uk, they migrate to southern parts of Europe, to avoid our cold winters.
