Not so fast!

Before you open the gate, check the handle! I was surprised to find this Convolvulus Hawk Moth sitting there. In the PiPs a closer image of it, also one of it on the grass. They are found throughout Australia (and I gather many other places) and can grow to 80mm wingspan.

That's a great series. Unusual to see it resting on the handle and the view on the grass gives a lovely view of its markings.
