Staying down the valley, in the shelter of Porthcurno there were numerous encounters with migrant Hummingbird Hawkmoths. Such a treat to watch them during their frantic visits to the flower heads. A male Lesser Emperor was an exciting find hawking emerging ants over the car bonnets in the beach car park, it was showy but being in sole charge of the kids and without a camera I had to satisfy myself with just my memories of a fantastic encounter. Wall Browns were commonplace and the coastal slopes alive with Grayling in chosen spots. A pretty Black Arches was a new moth for me.
