Filmed this in the early summer whilst having breakfast in the garden. There were also quite a few painted lady butterflies which had arrived on a northerly shift of warm air from the European continent. I have planted many nectar-rich plants in this sunny corner of the garden but the self-sown valerian has always proved to be the biggest attraction, especially for the occasional hummingbird hawkmoth that we are lucky to see. It is hard to believe sometimes that they are an insect and not a bird as you watch them move with such speed from flower to flower.
