Broad Bordered Bee Hawk Moth

The weather has finally turned nice and sunny just in time for the end of my 10 days off work .
Today we made the most of the nice weather and headed out to Chambers wood  to search out butterflies and more importantly this lovely beauty a Broad bordered bee hawk moth we was not disappointed as there was 2 of them feeding  on the Valerian near to the garden area , I have also tagged the photo for Flower Friday 
We went for a walk through the woods to the meadow to see a handful of Marsh Fritillary butterflies . Back home via Lidl for some fresh bread and a late lunch .
A trip then into town to pick up some paint for the bathroom from wilko , and once i got on and gave the walls their 1st coat this time Minstrel was kept out the way.

Relaxing now as much as possible watching Wigan take on our big local rivals in the Super League we are a bit behind the pace at the moment and getting beat at half time fingers crossed we can turn things around in the 2nd half.
It will soon be time for a few beers with the hard work I think I have earned a few.
