I can't say I had seen one until 4 or 5 years ago either, but they seem to be much more common now, and we get a few in the garden every year, and even one in the house a couple of weeks ago. There were perhaps a 100 or more of them at the St Mary's Nature Reserve in Whitley Bay a couple of weekends ago, too. An amazing sight.

Wow! That's quite a large number Lazza :eek!: Perhaps shows how successful they've become as they've spread :t:

I had one turn up on my allotment last Friday, 2nd October o:) I don't just grow vegetables but also have a huge flower bed planted up with various nectar-rich flowers to attract bees, butterflies and other insects.
