Hi,I have not been on here for a while as in a past post I seemed to be treated as a dumb blonde..blonde I am..bleached that is..but not dumb just not an experienced nature spotter...anyway now that is off my chest...could anyone help with ID of the pic 
I just saw this and really didn't know what it was..moth or.....?
It was hard to photo as its wings were so quick they were just a blur and it seemed to have a long 'tongue' that it was using to gather nectar from the flower head!
About an inch long,very quick & a loud buzzing noise!
Thanks.

Looks like a lovely Hummingbird Hawk-moth.
