Hello Vladimir,
It's a hummingbird Hawk moth.Nice picture.Good focus and good colours.
Thanks for the share,
Regards,
Smitha.

I believe its called a Hummingbird Hawkmoth (Macroglossum stellatarum). Its a migrant visor to S England from Mainland Europe. Flies during the day feeding on nectar of flowers using its long tongue. A good clean crisp image, showing the movement of it wings, good colours. Well done not an easy on to get. TFS. Regards Bill.

Foarte reusita fotografia! Felicitari!Incadrarea bleu poate distrage putin atentia...dar la urma urmei, e important sa placa autorului ei!

Hello Vladimir,
My belated welcome to you on TN!
This is a very successful capture of this Moth which never stands still while hovering over flowers. I have tried it several times, but the outcome has not been as sharp as this one. You deserve congratulations for it.
The focus is entirely on the insect and it does not matter if the flower is out of focus.
Thanks for sharing the picture.
