My colleague at work has seen a very odd "bird" in his garden this morning;well he thinks it was a bird.It was very small,only maybe 2 inches in length and was hovering in the way that hummingbirds do and collecting nectar from his plants.He insists it wasn't a dragonfly or anything like that and it seemed to have a beak or maybe a proboscis like a butterfly. He also thinks he heard something about these creatures on Radio 5 sometime this week;any ideas anyone?
