Hummingbird Hawk-Moth – of Burton Pidsea!

THE HUMMINGBIRD HAWK-MOTH is normally resident in warmer climates such as Southern Europe and North Africa. Occasionally the moth – so named because its hovering behaviour, and humming noise, make it look like a hummingbird – finds its way to colder climes during summer.

These excellent pictures are taken from Wikipedia the online encyclopedia, but one of these remarkable moths was seen in July by Derek Bullamore in his garden at Burton Pidsea!

Have you seen any unusual animals or insects while out and about in Holderness? Let us know here at the Hedon Blog – and send us your photos!

Sometimes you can pick up the odd ‘treasure’ or two at a car boot sale. If this is the case then you might want to get that Ming dynasty vase or that Woolworths 2002 Japanese figure valued? The Holderness Grange Lifestyle Village in Hedon is holding an open day on Saturday 10am – 4pm where you can Bring Your ‘Treasures’ for a FREE valuation.

If you want to pick up a something new and unique made by local crafts people then visit the Alexandra Hall in Hedon Town centre for its Summer Craft Fair from 10am – 3pm.

Hedon is but a short drive away from Burton Pidsea where the Memorial Hall is hosting the 69th Roos & District Horticultural Society Annual Show.

That’s Saturday taken care of – so what about Sunday 3rd July? You could put the car away and enjoy the Historic Hedon Pubs Walk!
