    It was quite a while ago but if i remember rightly my brother and I actually found it dead so maybe it had travelled a bit too far north at the time.

    I have seen the odd Poplar and Lime Hawk also a few Humming bird Hawks there are all pretty impressive, I'd love to see an Eyed Hawk or an Elephant hawk though.
