[QUOTE="Edward, post: 260526, member: 822"] Hi Wolfgang and welcome to BF As Pete says an interesting observation. Two autumns ago there were a spate of hummingbird reports in Iceland, all turned out to be Convolvulous Hawk-moths (Agrius convolvulii). As Katy suggested are there any zoos nearby where it escaped from? The nearest naturally occurring hummingbirds to Australia are Ecuador/Peru. Also do you know what Yellow-bellied Sunbirds look like? They can hover "hummingbird like." Their normal range is a long way north of you, from central coastal QLD and north but there have been sightings well south of this, haven't there Pete? Anyway keep your camera handy and your eyes peeled. E [/QUOTE]
